  Does the Orthodox Jewish community accept this form of music?

  Went to school in White Plains, where Matisyahu is from, I think. Anyways, I'm Asian American but still enjoy his music. It's unique, for lack of a better word.

  Please tell me the autotune/vocoder is used at a minimum on the new recording.

  In that same sense, what is his stance on rappers using it, for when they want to sing, like Kanye. I understand Matisyahu actually took voice training and such for the new recording.

  I use your music and videos in the classroom (I teach high school) and it has been a wonderful tool for connecting with students and for exposing them to great music with healthy and thought-provoking messages. And, on a personal level, I am a tremendous fan of your work.

  I first saw Matisyahu at the Pemby fest last summer. The vibe was amazing as the sun hung over the mountain backdrop behind the stage. I have been a fan ever since. I like the sound of the new album and hope he returns to BC soon.

  The Orthodox community is not necessarily a unitary entity, but if its any indication, he's performed at a concert that benefits a prominent Orthodox charity, together with mainstream Orthodox artists.
