Yehudit who sarcastically thinks BANANAS was a dream
is given a red pill/blue pill choice. Akhotkha advocates
reality-red while the Admor counsels to remain in the blue dream. They have both often taken the red pill of reality before. Often.
As Yehudit swallows the pill THE TRUTH which will set her free presents each of the 4 charachters.
First Elohima-frustrated that she as god is not recognized because she speaks in a woman's voice. Second,…

the tail end of THE TRUTH god wakes Yehudit with the help of Akhotkha and tells her that she is her chosen prophet. She mustn't be decieved by land, nation, government, myth, priests, or any other veil or mask presenting itself as god.
In Israel (where every act is political and the various factions of Judaism despise each other) the overlap between politically left (liberal - universalist) and Jewish (nationalist, traditional, orthdox) is a narrow…
the test of good and bad. Genesis 3:22 "man is become as one of us to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever." Yehudit and Elohima with the help of Voodoo Child and Machine gun crash through the drummer's tom toms and bass drum and up the tree of life through the chakras of Yesod and Tiferet to define good. Challanging the 613 commandments, rabbinate, and Halacha they maintain…
The 42 letter name is a formula used by kabbalists. To help remember the 7 sequences of 6 letters a prayer was written using each letter to begin a word. אנא בכוח can be found in some sidurim and has since the dawning of the age of Aquarius been put to music with different melodies (one of them on a melody of Carlebach).
The חידוש in this version is the jazz AABA arrangement. First the familiar text of אנא בכוח as a ballad by the Admor; then the…
Yehudit, having passed the bananas, matrix, straight ahead, GOODJEW and 42 letter name tests (countem 5) is told that she needs a band and has passed from audition to presentation. After passing the quiz of 6 (division and multiplication of souls) She is sent to Isiah's vision where Isiah the soundman will give her a microphone and an opportunity to riff on the things she believes need to be fixed (tikkunim) in Judaism. First...how Jews regard women…
Based on a short story from The Twilight Zone Ofer saw at 12. Yehudit is stopped by 2 figures (the cloaked figures behind her who were photographed at the Jerusalem YMCA) who present her with a button. Yehudit knows the INSTANT KARMA - if she presses her soul is top of the hit list for the new seduction of כסף-כח-כבוד .
The song appeared on Hey ה in 2001 with a real button albeit in English and witha percussionist. Versions with a drummer -bass-guitar…
In Israel the state expects you to put your life on pause for 2 to 3 years in order to worship the I (no longerD)F. AKHOTKHA is Awake to free will and self determination. In this shortened 52 minute version for Acco all the alternatives offered by Civilian Service do not appear.
In order to serve the greater good (and not only the defense budget and careers of generals and politicians) one must obtaina discharge from the army before choosing where…
Reb Haim Moshe Luzato, הרמח"ל, in his classic מסילת ישרים, presents a double edged sword/dildo - pishpush and mishmush פישפוש ומישמוש. Reviewing one's deeds to see that you have done no wrong and also to feel if you have done enough good - or at least the best you could.
A litany of places where it's much worse is presented where we can not change (or can we?) the way things are.
Is it enough to say "my hands are clean - I've never killed beaten…
Akhotkha (literally: your sister) is a cult with origins in Jerusalem
In 2009 it was a rock-opera (drummer) adding new members who were not afraid of its mix of anarchist politics, militant anti-militarism and kabbalistic, individualistic neo-hassidism. myspace.com/akhotkha has vids from that period.
In Israel alternative civil service is possible slm.co.il but first one must get a discharge from the army. Akhotkha

In Israel alternative civil service is possible slm.co.il but first one must get a discharge from the army. Akhotkha shows you how with music, humor and confidence.
In 2010 we performed at the Acco theater festival - top of the Israeli/Palestinian fringe - in a 52 minute Kabbalistic Cabaret where we filmed these pieces numbered #1 to #9.
AKHOTKHA the band is constantly auditioning and performing making the combination consciousness raising. We released an
album in 2011 akhotkha.bandcamp.com
We are looking for collaborations with film makers, directors, producers, actresses and choreographers to spread the cult of Akhotkha as a movie so Akhotkha will live forever.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
