Hasidic Singers Kick Off Baseball Game With National Anthem and God Bless America


A group of Hasidic singers took to the field last week in Coney Island to kick off the annual baseball game between the New York Police Department team and a team of players from the Flatbush Hatzolah volunteeer ambulance service of Brooklyn, New York.

At first the singers ran into difficulties with the microphone and the words, but then the leader of the group whipped out his smartphone to read the lyrics and belted out the National Anthem while the backup singers hummed along.

They followed up by singing another patriotic song, God Bless America, and this time they knew the words. We think Irving Berlin would have been proud.

P.S. As reported by The Yeshiva World News, the Hatzolah team beat the NYPD team, 8-6.
The game was tied at 2/2 until the 8th inning, when the NYPD took the lead by 2 runs. The following inning, Flatbush Hatzolah scored 6 runs, and the NYPD scored another 2 in the top of the ninth. The final score was 8-6 Hatzolah. - See more at: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=21146#sthash.YSb1Duy3.dpuf

  1. I remember attending the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore in the 1940s and Rabbi Samson a"h, the Dean taught us to Sing God Bless America in Yiddish.

  2. They did a fine job on both songs even with problem with anthem so I could not click "don't like" but I still prefer jokes so could not chose "like" or "please more". so I just chose my usual "more jokes"

    1. To this "Anonymous" and any other Anonymouses who keep asking for more jokes, please understand that this is not an exclusively jokes site. It's a Jewish humor site, and Jewish humor is a lot more than jokes, as I point out in the yellow bar on top of the page. So please understand that there will be jokes, guaranteed every Monday and a few times a week as well, but not only as standup jokes. We try to share anything that's funny and Jewish.

  3. Could you show the equivalent film of a group of Hasidic or Mitnagdish Charedim in Israel singing "God Bless Israel"? Whoops,I forgot. We don't play baseball in Israel and God is not involved in basketball or football.
