1. If all Israel's enemies lay down weapons, everyone knows that it will bring peace and prosperity to the region. If Israel lays down weapons, everyone knows that Israel will cease to exist that very day. And we saw what that would look like... 2. The massacre that we witnessed, children and women and elderly taken as hostages, show that Hamas is like ISIS. It is NOT a war for territory or sovereignty. Instead of using the billions of dollars poured into them by the international community to create a prosperous nation alongside Israel, they turned Gaza into an oppressive murderous regime that kills its own people and indoctrinates children to kill the Jews and all infidels. It’s a religious war. 3. At all times Israel gives access to medical services to Arabs from both Gaza and Palestinian Authority, and provides humanitarian aid and basic necessities to Gaza. Arabs in Israel proper are doctors, lawyers, heads of medical departments in major hospitals, high ranking military commanders, heads of police precincts, Supreme Justices, members of parliament and members of coalition. This is NOT apartheid, and there is no moral equivalence.

I have to admit my intrigue with BLP began after my son showed me one of his videos and I saw the iced out rose dreidel, the sideways dreadlocked peyot, and hockey hat. We haven’t had a member of the tribe with this level of swagger since Dylan. But after delving into his raps it became clear that this dude is for real and is somewhat of a Savant when it comes to combining his Jewishness with currnt mainstream skate and rap culture. I immediately asked my Son Laivy to introduce us and felt it important to reach out and show some love as there are few Jews with the same reach to the youth that he has and he’s out there making a kiddish Hashem which we need more then ever. When I approached him with the song he took it very seriously and truly wanted to write about the things that give him anxiety. I respect the honesty and authenticity from this young Jewish rapper, BLP KOSHER Enjoy the full video up on YouTube #ancientchild Shot by Shlomo Weprin edit, effects, and claymation by okmino

I'm proud to share the official music video for my new song "Ascent" - the video was shot in Israel in the aftermath of the October 7th attacks at the site of the Nova Music Festival, and various Kibbutzim that were massacred on that horrific day. Help me stand up to anti-semitism and share this video far and wide to show the world that we the Jewish people stand proud and that our light will not be put out 🕯️ #stopantisemitism #stopjewishhate #bringthemhome

So grateful to you, all the fans who continue to listen to my music and come to shows. It has been 26 years since I came out of yeshiva on Friday afternoons to record my first album Shake Off The Dust. I would take the train to downtown BK and walk to Dumbo with a vision and a dream. I recorded those first songs mixing my two loves reggae music and Judaism in a way that felt natural to me. We played our first shows as band in New York City and the live energy was contagious. It’s been a bumpy road at times and at other has felt like I was being pulled up and lifted by angels around me. Those angels have been real people and I say Thank You to you, all the angels who have supported my musical existence these last 26 years. #happythanksgiving #happythanksgiving2025

Prayer has always been at the center of my desire to conquer the enemy within. Before I became Matisyahu, I was a young man in a battle. I had already tasted from the tree and felt both sides. How could I not let the evil king rule the city (my heart). “I loose my balance, I’m a tad bit out of touch. You can’t imagine, all the times that I gave up.” How does one achieve victory in this war against his evil inclination? I would go up onto the roof of my school and pray for success as I entered into an era of rituals. Matisyahu was born here and these rituals guided me but were also complicated in their paradoxical nature. Later on around the time of the Akeda record, my process of connection became tied to breaking rituals that had become a golden calf of sorts actually impeding my connection to HaShem. And now…? I find myself deeply yearning for the original connection I had in my early days of calling upon God from the roof of the New School only armed with decades of practice and baggage as I sift through this mess again in search of something pure. May we all find that one sealed canister of pure oil this Chanuka and rebuild the ultimate house of redemption with Mosiach now! I want to know about your process. How do you balance? Do you have a ritual in your life? What are you chasing? I hope you are enjoying these clips from the new album #Ancientchild #ritual

The uglier their ignorance is, the deeper it pushes me back to the truth of Hashem. Funny how the “opposition” is leading me back to the root. Thank you to this beautiful couple and the hundred or so others like them in Birmingham who were not intimidated by the fools on the corner. I am proud to call you my fans and now we are family. They can shout whatever they want but if they dropped their ego’s and their signs and came inside their hearts would warm in the glow that we all know. Thank you again for your bravery and know you are the reason I continue to be out here. See you tonight Dallas and then on to the west coast.

Are ya thirsty for more? Last night in Miami was unforgettable. Thank you to everyone who came out and rocked with us. See you again tonight for two more sets of music on this 8th night of Chanukah. Eight is the number of infinity, one more then what you know how to be and this is the light of festivity, when your broken heart yearns to be free.

Shabbat Shalom as we enter into the Partia of building a home for Hashem in this world. My heart and prayers are with my Jewish brothers and sisters right now as we fight this brutal wave of anti-semitism. Stay alert and listen to the voice calling each and every one of us to unite together and find our Godly Sparks. Together we are unstoppable. In the spirit of using the music as a form of prayer, I began bringing a book of Psalms onto stage with me. When the time feels right during certain jams, I will open it up and start chanting. Thank you for sharing these special moments with me.

My new song "Ascent" drops this Friday and I think it is some of my most meaningful work ever. The song is about antisemitism and we are also releasing a music video with it that was shot in Israel in the aftermath of October the 7th with survivors of the Nova Festival. This is a very meaningful piece of music to me. Hit the #linkinbio to pre-save now! 🎥 : Shlomo Weprin #matisyahu #stopantisemitism

I bought my first 15 passenger van in 2004 and started touring to make a living fresh out of yeshiva. I didn’t wait for a record deal or an agent, because for me live music has always been the core. From that first tour where I brought a laundry basket of books and a cooler full of kosher meat it’s been a journey. I’ve spent the better part of the last 22 years traveling around this country playing my songs for you and it feels so good to still be doing it. Thank you.

This one is dedicated to all the mothers and sisters who’s sons and brothers won’t be lighting candles this Chanukah. We try to find the light of Chanukah this year in the darkness of tragedy and heart break. Our hearts once again united in pain, how do we move forward? We move forward with the infinite knowledge that we are the light. No matter how much darkness, the Jewish people will rise and shine through it just like the Menorah that shines through the destruction of the Temple. In the spirit of our ancestors, we draw down the light of ancient Maccabee warriors as we move forward into the light of Mosiach. #ancientchild #happychanuka #nowomannocry
