Hi everybody!
Youtube is, to me, a lot like my grandparent's attic. Sometimes when I went up there (before they cleaned it out) I'd come down with a machzor from ye olde country and sometimes I'd come down with a moldy biology text book. So I thought, if there are other people on c-r who comb youtube for machzorim from ye olde country and we all put our heads together, we'll end up with a lot fewer moldy biology text books. This then is my suggestion, my proposal, to all of you, my fellow c-r.com-ers. If we unite together we can find the greatest videos on the www! It's okay if it's from another service like google video, too. So what are you watching?
This is a BBC clip of Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, a ninjutsu grandmaster.

There are some videos of him that are more crazy but this is still pretty good. His application of technique is so relaxed. It appears effortless. It's incredible to watch.
This is a video from an accoustic set at an interfaith gathering in Jerusalem of Eden Mi-Qedem performing Yedid Nefesh:

Their translation of the Hebrew (not sung) provided here:

There are a number of other videos from that gathering, mostly of the eden mi-qedem performance, but the video of Eliyahu McClean, who's a peace activist, speaking about Jewish-Muslim interfaith in the past and about the work he's doing now to remove stigmas and get people talking together is really good too. He's affiliated with the Jerusalem Peacemakers org.
and finally Frank Caliendo of madtv doing some impressions (george w, clinton, john madden, pacino, seinfeld, jason alexander, the guy who played kramer, robin williams, deniro, casey casem, ted knight, john belushi, scooby and shaggy, chris rock, jay leno, chris farley):

I hadn't heard of them before. So much to learn....so little time.
