Besides for the fact that you managed to make me feel an emotion (quite an accompleshment) I think you just made one of the only good Jewish music videos ever! (And to think that you did it with a YBC song!!)

Jewish music industry take note!

Good job Mendel, I hope this gets you the attentoin you desurve!

Really gives us an insight as to what goes on ”behind scenes” when the soldiers leave home, and the risks they have to take etc
May all the fathers always come home safe and well to their families, with Hashems help, and may Hashem always protect them. Thank you Mendel Katz and his co workers

November 28, 2013 4:24 pm

what a great quality film, brings you to tears of both pain, then happiness, & mostly appreciation for the ones nearest and dearest to us who one way or the other put their lives on the line, whether literally as a soldier, or figuratively as shluchim, that they should never be harmed rl…’Hinei lo ya’anum v’lo yishan shomer yisroel’!

Well done
November 28, 2013 4:20 pm
