Singalong



Spontaneous singing broke out at a bar mitzvah in Brooklyn. What you might need to know is that the bar mitzvah was for the Shira Choir founder's son, and the tables were full of trained singers. The song is "Im Hashem Lo Yivneh Bayis." The lyrics translate to:

Unless the Lord builds the house,
The builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
Guardian of Israel

I understand this video is from 2013, but these jerks are the ones beating up people in NY because wearing masks offends their god.

Yeah, they're seriously messed up in many, many ways.

You've got to be careful with the overly broad 'these jerks' type comments. Who are 'these jerks"? The guys singing in this video? I sincerely doubt it. The link you gave lead to an article about an Orthodox Jew getting beaten up by some other Orthodox Jews because he was wearing a mask. So is the guy who got beat up one of 'these jerks'? Of course not.
