The Gat Brothers, Aryeh and Gil Gat (Aryeh is from Bet Shemesh, and Gil is from Jerusalem), continued their performance on the Kochav Nolad, A Star is Born, show.. this time they performed a "Jewish song" (technically Simon and Garfunkel songs are also Jewish, but I mean Jewish content, aka Hassidic songs)..
take a look at the reception they receive for it...
מי האיש החפץ חיים..
here is a clip of just the performance.. the second clip is of the performance along with a meeting and discussion with the third musician joining them and the post-performance voting..
the full clip..
and yes, one of the judges of the performance is Eyal Golan, a performer recently in the news under suspicion for committing heinous acts... take lesson Mr. Golan - סור מרע ועשה טוב...
there is a lot of debate whether their performances in public is considered a Kiddush Hashem or not.
Personally, when they sing Simon and Garfunkel songs, or The Eagles (Hotel California) or other songs, it is nice, but not necessarily a kiddush hashem. Their behavior in public might be, especially when so many similarly dressed people are in the news for bad things, and here come these two soft-spoken people and talk and act like mentchen in public and act in a way that causes people to like them, and thereby also perhaps like religion or religious Jews even just a bit more than previously... maybe it is a Kiddush Hashem..
And when they perform a song like this in front of thousands of people and draw out such emotion, surely it is a Kiddush Hashem..
