Wow, in all my years in a synagogue choir, we always know that Adon Olam can be sung to every tune known and we have enjoyed many - this is beautiful. Thank you and Shalom.

i think that this man should sing at the funeral of Randy Paush. He would tear the church up?

Hey Josh, if you're reading this, I hope all is well. I have been trying to reach you because there is a woman interested in booking you for a 5 show series in Florida. She got my number from another congregation whe performed at so I told her I would relay the message to you.

Just to clear a few things up for good: We ARE Jewish. I am a Reform Jew so wearing pants and singing in front of men isn't forbidden. Also, we are not in a synagogue or on a Bimah during this performance, so if we were, we would have dressed accordingly.If you're sold on the idea that women should not sing in front of men, then I hope your Cantor sports a beard! Lastly Joshua Nelson is a very Tallented, and Spiritual individual. Try not to be so ignorant while passing judgement.

development of the spirituals as Africans were converted to Christianity. Black Jews have the Freedom to express their religious music as culture permits under Jewish Law as long as the content follows halacha. This is what's presented here. Like it or not, It is an authentic development of Jewish Music through the eyes of a Black Jew. Education

continued.......composition. you admitted your ignorance of the Hebrew so why make the comment? Soul music is a cultural, NOT religous, expression of music developed during slavery times. First the Work songs and then the religiously through the is a must.

Hello and thank you for your comment. I would have to educate you about what is things are and arent Jewish. Assuming you are not Jewish or a Jew by culture association, the phrasing of the Hebrew matches perfectly with the music's

I've listened to the other versions of this same song, Adon Olam under related videos. It depends on the listerners preferences which one they prefer. Gospel Music is wonderful but it is hard to make out the words with the gospel phraseology. That also being in part to my not being familiar with the Hebrew language. The guy is obviously talented, but this seems a totally not jewish way of singing it. I can't resist saying that the ladies really need to look into their health.
