A message from Mordy:
Since the war began, I have been personally involved in supporting the families of our courageous soldiers on the front lines. With husbands and fathers away for weeks or even months at a time, we’ve stepped in to lighten the load by delivering weekly meals to heroic mothers and bringing joy to children through thoughtful gifts and engaging activities.
We’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact this support has on these families. When soldiers know their loved ones are cared for, they can focus on their mission with greater strength and resolve. Your contribution does more than bring comfort and relief-it directly empowers our heroes and bolsters the war effort.
Join us in honoring those who give so much to the Jewish people. Every donation sends a message of love, gratitude, and hope to the families who need it most.

Lyrics
Some things have changed around us
Some things have stayed the same
Through every change we’ve weathered
Our spirit always burns the same.
When shadows rise to meet us
Our flame will burn through the night
An ancient spark ignites
And fills the void with light.
We’ll rise above, defying gravity
Through every trial defying gravity
And they won’t bring us down.
Our light will continue to shine
this flame is no trick or delusion
Never accepted limits,
Cause someone says they're so
Thousands of years so far
But we’ve still got a ways to go.
No time to be afraid of
Those who’d try to see us gone
They didn’t know the strength that we’ve had all along.
We’ll rise above, defying gravity
Through every trial defying gravity
And they won’t bring us down.
So if your faith is shaken
Pray to the Eastern sky
As someone told me lately
Od Avinu, Am Yisrael Chai
We’re never flying solo
We’re never left alone
To those who’d ground us
Here’s a message of our own
We'll rise above, defying gravity
We’ll shine our light, defying gravity
And we will make our presence known.
In every land that we call home
We’ll say it loud and make it known,
You’re never gonna bring us down.
יפה מאוד! תודה רבה! 🙏וחנוכה שמח לכולם!
שנזכה לראות עוד ניסים ונפלאות!❣
Until the end of days.... we won't be taken down!
As a Zionist Wicked fan, this warmed my heart. Hope everyone Jewish has a happy Hanukkah 🕎✨💜
Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱👑🦁🔥

My family was literally just do a bunch of Hanukkah stuff. Came at a great time.
Bonus comment, now that I've listened... It brought tears to my eyes. The words and the images. For years now, I've been saying that my favorite yearly act of defiance is dancing with the Torah scroll on Simchat Torah. But just the fact that we're still here... *Am Yisrael Chai!*
I was not prepared! How perfect. Thank you
I waited all year long for this song!! Keep it up! Cant wait for the next one...
Very beautiful! Thank you so much Maccabeats! God bless you! Happy Chanukkah! 🕎
When I saw "Defying Gravity" performed on-stage nearly 20 years ago, it gave me chills. So did this video today. Thank you for another wonderful music video, Maccabeats!
Well done! Beautiful! Chanukah Sameach from Eretz! 🇮🇱
Did you know that the giant Hanukkiah seen at 0:48 was displayed there by descendants of Nazis and at the same time the founders of the March of Life?
We would be delighted if you would get in touch with us!
Maybe we can do something together! 🕎
We've been waiting for a new chanukah song the whole week! I love how its a wicked song 😂. thank you guys for all you do!
We always look forward to new Hannukah songs we can pkay during the first day of Hannukah. Love fron the Philippines. Am Yisrael Chai!
Beautiful! Chag Chanukah Sameach! 🕎
They will only bring us together stronger.
I have been waiting for a new song from the Maccabeats. Yay!
Absolutely beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Didn’t Six13 just do this?
Who cares? They're both different. And we all love Wicked
Yes but better ;) Though I love anything Wicked hehe
Yes and now we have 2 versions ❤
🇮🇱 🇮🇱 ❤❤❤
This is both cringe, and heartwarming. Shalom brothers... XD
beautiful as always, great improvement over the awful original
I have been waiting for you to do a new video all year! But this wasn’t what I was expecting… I don’t agree with the whole wicked thing and I don’t see why you would do it. I truly am your biggest supporter/fan. If you guys even see this. Comment pls respond.! I would love it so much if you were to do “million dollar baby” or that uh pt pt song. I know it takes time, but it would mean a lot. I look up to you guys… and it was recently my bat mitz’vah. I went to the end of the world to get a maccabeat hoodie.😂 and it still hasn’t shipped…. In a few weeks I’m going to attempt to sing at my great granddads funeral. I’ve never sung in front of more than 5 people. But for the last year I’ve looked up to you. And seeing this really breaks my heart. Cause I don’t believe in the witch craft and the whole wicked thing…. I’m so sad that you think it’s okay..
Thank you so much if read.
Happy Hanukkah
🕎✨🥲
I see your point. Apparently, the writers or something involved with "Wicked" are Jewish or so I have heard.
May HaShem give you confidence as you show His Light with your voice.
@ thank you!!✨
Happy Hanukkah!🕎🩵
@@mosesmondragon3749 Happy Hanukkah to you!
Listen to the lyrics. They had nothing to do with witchcraft. Stop being such an attention seeker and grow up.
@@twatmunro The last sentence of your remark was unkind.
Is there a prize for being like #613?
I love the Macabeats. They came to our sybangugue hereiin Maryland twice. However this is not one of their best videos. Six13 has done a wicked video also combining Popular and Defying Gravity into something truly amazing. The only good part was showing all the famous jews in history.
Great rendition. Missed an opportunity in the lyrics, instead of switching to "Eastern sky" it should have been "Western Wall". Tip for next time. 😂
Do you guys know what theme Six13 is going to do and just do the same every year? Who copies who? 😂
That’s what I’m saying! Those guys dropped theirs like a week ago… and it’s soooo much better.
The movie song sounds much better. No other version comes close to its masterpiece
Y'all copied 613
Thank you!
