Diamond, Neil - Kol Nidre Lyrics

Happy Yom Kippur to Niel Diamond and all the Jewish people, the first to hear the Word of God.

So beautiful

Bravo Laurence Olivier !

this was me and my spouse 41 yrs ago cept my dad was not a rabbi, but this still makes me teary

Ich HABE den FILM AUF DEUTSCH (DVD). einfach an chr2014 ad gmx punkt at schreiben !!!

Beautiful movie

Why were critics so hard on him? He wasn’t horrible. Not an Oscar performance but so what..

I'm not Jewish, and I don't pretend to know if this is in any way authentic. But this is beautiful. If you have parents and choose a different path.. This seems to hit home.

I'm not Jewish (nor was Sir Laurence) but this scene still makes me cry like a baby...A father's love/acceptance is universal.

Lucie Arnaz was really hot in this , Neils Great . wish he would made a few more films

Yawnnnnnn

I saw this movie as a kid and never forgot this amazing scene... cool that we can find it again on YouTube.

Kol Nidre done by Johnny Mathis is totally amazing !

I'd buy that single.

The look on the father's face is priceless when he realize his son is singing Kol Nidre.

where is the sound

The Kol Nidre is disgusting.

Genial!!!

Father’s and Son’s it’s a Tough relationship, both proud of stubborn neither wanting to Ben to each other

I miss my parents
I'm 60 years old now
I am an Italian Jewish lady

Me too just pray!

My all-time favorite movie ! Plus I love Neil Diamond...I went to see him in concert and I had soooo much fun...never did sit down ...just stood up and danced as most of the crowds did ! ! A great entertainer! ! ! Very humble person! !

אלביס ויוה לאס ווגאס

I love this recording.

Happy Rose Hashanah,2018. Peace and love.

Baruch ha Shem. Am Yisroel chai.

The original was better

i dont like the way he is so disrespectful to his father, and how he forces his father to go against Judaism

Non violence..and. trade. the pole star of Jain's never founded a state control 70percent of trade and capital philanthropy.their.forte in.india

Jainism has much in common with.judaism they have aritual of eight days praying fasting and on.5day. Of new moon of month bhadri pad. they offer apologies.and seek forgiveness not just from humans.but from.all creatures

It is a shame that Jess and Rivka, could not mend their differences. This should have been part, of this film.

Einfach wunderschön... so fühlt sich Versöhnung an..

Im glad he didnt sing " Mammy.." that woulda went over like lead rocks. Still..i like neil diamond. Didnt understand al jolson and his times at all.

Being a father, I have no kids despite I am 65 years old now, is never easy. It is universal, not just among Jews.

Thank you..Neil diamond

Neil diamond..awesome. Im so glad he didnt put on blackface.

actually early in the movie the black band he writes for begs him to do it he does and chasos insues

I HAFF NO SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it when he sings this so beautiful, his voice shines

Love this movie

A song that pulls at the strings of my heart that are already highly strung. Bless such beautiful sentiment.

5:09 - seeing Jess' dad break down when seeing his grandson's picture - makes me tear up every time - priceless!

Muy buen elenco de la película, todos actores muy buenos ,gracias a todos por vuestra buena labor, y por subir el bonito vídeo muchas gracias por todo

Muy bonita película ,la he visto más de 18 veces y siempre descubro cosas nuevas, nunca me canso de verla muy bien

ja beste!

Good job from a Jewish singer who has like 3 Christmas albums out😛

Lawrence Oliver played his farther he acted in 56 films .he was very famous an English Astor .he died 7 years after this film .

Who was the other famous actor, when his father realized his son was canting ?
He was in many Police Dramas of the 70s...

Damn the Muslims & all haters of GOD & Israel !!

Kol Nidrei "all vows" on of the most moving and deeply felt parts of the Yom Kippur service.

One of my favourite singers I have seen in concert I few times .a great film .

I cried with my grandfather during this scene 38 years ago.. I miss him

SO PROUD to be a Jew!!!!!!

SuperHadassa1 , you mean you are proud to be jewish, to say a Jew sounds so cruel

+Sarah Aloof : No... just to you. Why nitpick on someone proud of who they are? Seriously, you need a reality check if you are ashamed of the word Jew. Where do you think the term Jew-ish came from?? Get over yourself.

Me too.. this song is just gorgeous!

Adonai eloheinu adonai ehad

I love prayers in all languages they sound so beautiful!!

Tuesday, 12 September 2017: Ani ohev Israel ba ha lev sheli ve gam Ani ohev Ivrit. Elohim Yeverech Israel. I am African American man. I was Not born Jewish, but I love Israel and the Hebrew language.

Omg this movie is so emotional 😢😭

I love it. So beautiful.

My dad died at Auschwitz, he fell off the Guard Tower.

So to get back into your family you get a bird knocked up?  Hardly!

weird shit

Not as good as Al Jolson's version.

I have looked at this so many times and do enjoy it and every time I see it new emotions are felt it is a very heart wrenching and moving song and really makes u feel that all of us at some time makes mistakes but then we can be forgiven.a very true and beautiful moment for father and son.thank u Neil what ever yo do is meaning ful and yes does bring tears to new eyes,love u ur the best singer the world has ever known love u always

I just looked at this for about a hundred times and it brought me to tears but Neil is a profound singer and I just love his singing he is great acting the part Tks for showing this.

the de indarna was pretty good

I love this movie n have it. I don't know anything about what they're doing there at that ceremony, but it's a beautiful piece of music. Well acted movie to boot.

al jolson had the right accent.

´*•.¸(*•.¸♥¸.•*´)¸.•*´

the father son dynamic in al jolson's jazz singer was authentic and Jewish..

this version this snippet's upside down darwinian in that the son schools the father totally against tradition rendering this story total useless garbage.

Mid-day_ Light it's just a movie.

neil diamond is totally clueless as to why it is just so wrong for a Jewish man to marry a gentile woman. but typical of Hollywood, it makes the one with the correct traditional Jewish values, namely his father, look like the bad one

Not clueless, and it's his character, not him. It's no sin to marry someone you love, as he said. And I am speaking as a Jew, whose nationality is important to her. With all due respect -- and I do have it -- I find human nature to be fickle and primitive, when one declares a son or daughter dead in the name of a religious belief.

marrying an islamoNazi is a horrible idea, especially if it is the husband who is the islamoNazi. any Jewish woman who would marry an islamoNazi, clearly has a death wish

Can you explain the reason it is, as you say, "just so wrong" ?? I ask respectfully....

I married a nonjew and she loved every minute of learning about it. It made us closer.

I am not married. I am dating a woman who converted to Judaism many years ago after a life time of feeling Jewish. Judaism is beautiful. It is a way of life for some of us. It is a part of life for some of us. It is not for everyone. But many find their own path.

Mr. Cordovero, There is one Judge.

Strive for righteousness in all that you do. Build bridges with an open heart and open mind. I try and I fail. But, I keep trying knowing I will never accomplish the ultimate goal, but I will have brought as much love and light into the world that I could have . . . I hope. Shana Tova (a month late).

I like Al Jolson's version from 1927. So much pain and emotion in the first talking picture of all time.

Bee, ,veg gag ggbrdrne,,'aadt

Beautifully sung.

Neil Diamond, Shalom, eres fantastic, God Bless you

Armando Gonzalez uu

Cor lumey !
It's Neil Diamond in the rough !!!

Mike, perdona pero la religion es la persona y talvez eso que dices lo seras tu Shalom

Its a nice song and a good film but religion is bullshit.

Mike T perhaps, but people need to believe in something higher themselves. It is beyond our comprehension that good things and especially bad things, could just be because of chance. That all that happen is because of nothing more than "just because".

Mike T, you are the one who is bull shit

Thank you for posting this

😘😘😘 I love the sweet Nation of Israel for bringing the word of God to we gentiles❤ Israel who taught the Gentiles of our sweet Holy God❤💐

@Uncle Freddy May I suggest you take down this uncalled for comment.

@P. Barun May I suggest you fill your ass with cement and go wakeboarding.

Find the star of remphan and molech and learn if modern jewry it that of the old testament

yedish al elmay

isue ta me are tya our a me at all c or me call may er p say ye atar csopw

such an emotional scene

you just murdered my ears thank you for posting this... fix the audio quality!!! this song deserves MUCH MUCH better.

a beautiful Kol Nidrei - Neil Diamond's voice just blends it into me. . .

They say a Baby can melt the hardest of hearts.

To all those who miss their dad
I know the feeling too
May they be happy tears and good memories
The reason it hurts is because you did love him
Be glad you had him to love
He knew you did love him
All the best to you and yours in 2015 and beyond

Bless you dear one❤ Yes I miss my earthly papa😘 But I so look forward to seeing my great Father in heaven😘

Thank you
G.D BLESS YOU

I miss my parents. I am 86 now

La Shona Tova

Janais égalé....u avec toujours autant de plaisir et d'émotion

I love this movie. It is very very special.

would have been great if he'd followed up with Sweet Caroline

+Dan Steely It would have been off topic ...

@Minahh ok Holly Holy then

+Dan Steely Smarty.

Beautiful!

YA SE PERDONARON B"H

+aida liberman no conocía esta película, me he emocionado mucho. Por favor, podrías recomendarme más películas sobre judíos o para judíos donde se puedan ver escenas así ( un shabbat, Kippur, Pesaj...) Gracias y que Hashem te bendiga.

that man has a fantastic voice--so deep, rich, intimate--sort of the rock and roll version of Johnny Cash--

+windstorm1000 He does have a great voice. No range, but the songs he sings are perfect for HIM. I've always liked his music.
Sweet Caroline and America have always been my Favorites.

I don't know whether this was explained further on in the comments or not, but traditionally the Kol Nidre prayer is repeated several times, depending on the Congregation, sect, etc.  Nothing too wrong with him popping up to start it again - he wasn't just jumping in and doing it over for his dad's benefit.  A bit unusual, perhaps.  In my Congregation some of the men used to stand there with a Torah (the Ark was emptied) for the duration.  Those things aren't light....

According to Jewish tradition the Kol Nidrey prayer is repeated thrice.

Aron Kodesh emptied out? Traditionally, 2 sifrei Torah’s are held on each side of the shaliach Tzibur who says three verses in a quiet voice. When all verses are said, he repeats them moderately louder, and a final repeat in an even louder voice. Then he quiets down again and recites kol nidre 3 times, progressively louder. There’s something from Slichot at the end, but I don’t remember it.

This tune itself that is being sung is way different from the way I hear it at my shul. It’s a long and complicated story - the differences

Stu Mulne .

Stu Mulne: Ashkenaz Schuls do not have Kol Nidre, it is Sephardim services more as far as I know, I never heard it in Orthodox Ashkenaz temples.

doctorwho0077 what kind of shuls have you been to? All traditional Jews use Kol Nidre. The melody heard in this video is only used by Ashkenazim. The Sephardic and Mizrahic nusachs have different melodies and slightly different texts.

The God of Israel is the God of all.

The god of israhell is satan and no, he is not my god you pathetic fuck. Is-Ra-El, Isis, Ra and El or satan. "I know of they who claim to be jews but are not, they are of the synagogue of satan".

bert Amen

uncle freddy (///) Nazi Punks Fuck Off -(A)- Why would you even come to a Neil Diamond video, but to troll Jews? Follow Your Leader and shoot yourself.

You are crazy !!!! You are claiming your God is the greatest ,how fucking crazy is that ?????

Lord is my Daddy. I love him. I hope he loves Me.

Can anyone else hear Queen doing Kol Nidrei? 

No, definitely not.

The Jewish Sinatra.

Tov me'od !!!!

Tov me'od !!!!

Tov me'od !!!!

Shalom Israel

This scene demonstrates the heart wrenching consequences and events of Jewish assimilation.

Please, If you are Jewish and find this music moving, go to a Jewish Orthodox synagogue this Yom kippur. 

We live in a world and a country where assimilation is the norm.  The truth is assimilation has been going on for centuries for Jews.  For example- if you go by the biblical standards- religion is passed on the fathers side.  Because of the horrors of what happened in Eastern Europe a few centuries ago- it switched to the mother's side.  See Jews with blue eyes? If Jews are Semites, how is that possible since blue eyes are recessive and brown eyes are dominant genetically.

The parents can guilt the crap out of their child- but the fact is the child is the one with the trump card- grandchildren- they cannot pass on THEIR grandchildren.

+Ian Levy there's nothing wrong with Assimilation. You can have that, and keep your own family traditions as well.
Many diverse cultures have come together in the melting pot we call the United States, and many of us have managed to keep many of our old world traditions within the culture of America.
What American isn't IRISH on St. Patty's day? But then we have our own holidays. Whether it's Yom Kippur, or Ramadan or Christmas or Kwanzaa.
It's all a part of who and what we are.

@Ephraim Lehrer
Sorry dude- you are wrong.  Judiasm switched to the mothers side after the horrors in Russia and eastern Europe.  The fact is biblical Judiasm went thru the fathers side.

As for Religion and or race- for Jews it is both and the same.

@Janine Lea Well said Janine!
