it’s seriously a tradition to watch this video every once a while.

Who else thinks that Barrett would play a fantastic Meg in any Hercules musical??

*ben platt is in the audience*

"I'll even play Quidditch" As a Jewish girl, I WISH this was a Jewish thing!

As a Jew, I almost died of laughter all along the song but mostly when she said: "you've got the nose" and i was like: "That's such a sick humor joke but it's so funny".

In the beginning, I was like "where's the Barrett Wilbert Weed I'm used to, with a super strong and loud voice???" But then I kept listening and she got louder and then "ahhh, there she is"

Dear Ben Platt, Sincerely me.

Why is no one talking about how pleasant 2:51 is???? That "Tell me I need you" was A+++

Not only is Barrett the cutest person I've ever seen, this song is like the bizarro version of Shiksa Goddess from L5Y!

My boyfriend is Jewish, I'm Catholic. This made me laugh so much!

"Tell me 'I need you!' Tell me in Hebrew!" Me: אני צריך אותך

Lyrics? I should've known when I met you By the orthodox, synagogue I should've known when I saw you Buying extra lox at the bagel shop I should've known you're not to blame I should've seen We're not the same Doesn't take an Einstein You've got the nose, You've got the name The name is Stein Stein I'm not sure what you want me to do But I think this is worth Working through And I know it's a little bit Out of the blue But I might as well try I think I could be Jewish for you Like on the holidays I'll stop making gingerbread Start making challah When Hanukah comes heck I'll light the mandala Menorah excuse me If you could just choose me I'll sing Eidel Diedel not fa la Yeah, as far culture I might need a clue But I'll give it a shot 'Cause I've gotta be Jewish for you I'll go with you to temple I'll try to learn Yiddish I'll start eating kosher I'll even play quidditch No, that's not a Jew thing Well, show me some new things I won't be the slightest bit skiddish I'll do it by rote till it feels like it's true And till I'm verklempt I'll attempt To be Jewish for you I mean, I would be Irish or Russian Or French, but no, Chinese is a bit of a stretch Just wait even your Rabbi will Call me a mensch Did I mention I've been practicing my kvetch Ohh, I will adapt where the average Girl freezes 'Cause if I have to have the 'Just friends talk' I'll do it with Jesus "Sorry Jesus, you're just not my type" Whatever they are I could learn to like latkes And if we had sons then They'd all have bar matsvahs! BAR MITZVAHS, I'm joking I promise I know things Enough not to ruin Shabbat 'cause If that's what it takes then that's what I'll do Please don't run away And one day I'll be Jewish for you Tell me, you've never questioned one holy command Tell me, don't you think love's More romantic unplanned Tell me you're nervous, We'll start with a service Just tell me where you stand Tell me I need you Tell me in Hebrew Teach me l'chaim And horcrux and oi Just tell me why Instead of hi I'll say shalom Until my hovel, feels like home But I won't say goodbye So here's what I propose.. I'll read through the torah From cover to cover Till even Moses could see We were meant for each other You know I adore you So let me fight for you Together we'll take on your mother It might be a prayer, but a prayer can come true I dare you to dare to me I swear I'll come through But I'm with you and there isn't a thing I can't do So if you're inclined I won't mind Being Jewish for youuuuuu!!!

Our love is Yahweh

damn she's gorgeous

90% sure this is my girlfriend

lol even she can't keep it together after she says horcrux

She's gorgeous, and so talented! Probs the cutest girl ever. As a jew this is so funny ;D

This feels like it's from The Last 5 Years.

love the Harry Potter references :')

Okay, I would make a Heathers reference, but I just wanna say how nice it is that this is so accurate this is. To Judaism, I mean. I mean, the references, the jokes, the pronunciations, it's just awesome. It's really..... Beautiful. Seventeen out of ten. She really Shone a Light---- okay, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Comparing this to her singing "Annie's Party", she definitely improves quickly and is just constantly getting better and better. Seeing her in Rent, then Bare, and then Heathers you can really see her getting more comfortable with public performances and just becoming an amazing actress and singer. Now she's done Cabaret, just imagine how freaking good she'll be by the end of this year, I think she's going to top everyone ever. She literally can sing any style, going from soft to bold, or silly to emotional. (Plus have you heard that belt? JESUS CHRISSSTTT!) Literally she's the best.

The Torah from “cover” to “cover” #onlyjewscanrelate

She’s acting along to the song too, which makes the performance even more convincing!

i love barrett more than i love life itself

HP references on point, also Barrett is queen

Wow real footage of John mullany first meeting his wife

It's really cool to listen to this song after realizing that it doesn't say anything about gender. Considering that the same writer co-wrote "I Push Up My Glasses" there's a possibility that she could be singing this for a girl, which makes it even that more adorable :)

Me @ ben platt

*sings to ben platt*

i've watched this video 1000 times and it's never gets old bc she is so talented omg ahhh ily barret

Barrett Weed is actually an adorable and lovely human being

And no one got the "cover to cover joke" so I'll explain, it's a scroll.

I want to fall in love with a Jewish guy so I can sing this to him.

Wow “Fight For Me” sounds really good

She is brilliant. :O And that voice is unique - I love her octave jumps.

The two things I'm lol'ing at most: - All the "@Ben Platt"s in the comments xD - The flawless Harry Potter references in the song xDD

Everyone on here is talking about Ben Platt but have you seen the guy who wrote this song, Nikko Benson? Daaaamn.

Veronica? Veronica! Verconica! Veronicaaaaa!!!!

she said the thing ahhhhh!!! "I'll fight for you"😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕

Every time I watch this I can't help but laugh when she says "You know I adore you so let me fight for you"...... Oh the Heathers references are killing me. Barrett is just so amazing at everything she sings. She has truly become my idol.

I like the subtle mistakes, like how "shalom" also means goodbye, and how the Torah is written on scrolls and so doesn't have covers.

ILL EVEN PLAY QUIDDITCH OMFG I LOVE

I never knew JD was Jewish

I love her singing and I enjoy the song but the comments are the best. Heathers references for days y'all.

I want to hug Barret Wilbert Weed.

Who wouldn't like latkes tbh like they're pretty much giant hashbrowns they're like happiness on a plate

I love how a bunch of the heathers fandom has moved here😂

I love barrett more than I love my boyfriend.

This is adorable she is adorable everything is adorable

“Cause if I have to have the just friends talk I’ll do it with Jesus. Sorry Jesus, you’re just not my type” 💀 I can’t with this 😂 😂

I'm crying because this is actually perfect.

i swear to god this is hilarious im jewish and i swear that line "if i had to do the freindzone thing it would be with jesus" lol

VERONICAAAAAA I recognized her voice immediately ahhhhh

I could be Jewish for you but in return, would you fight for me?

She can't go with him to the temple, she's a dead girl walking.. I'm so sorry

Wow she got over JD quickly

She's playing Janice in Mean Girls on Broadway!

Does this song remind anyone else of the last five years?

So happy she's in Heather's now, amazing!!!

I stumble across this video every few months…it’s like a tradition

As an orthodox Jew, this song is hilarious!!! And I loved Barret singing it obviously

her falsetto is GORGEOUS

a bunch of people were asking for the lyrics, they're not perfect but I tried... I should have known when I met you by the orthodox synagogue I should have known when I saw you buying extra lox at the bagel shop I should have known, you're not to blame I should have seen we're not the same It doesn't take an Einstein You've got the nose, You've got the name, The name is Steinstein. I'm not sure what you want me to do, but I think this is worth working through and I know it's a little bit out of the blue but I might as well try it I think I could be Jewish for you like on the holidays I'll stop making gingerbread start making challah when Hanukkah comes heck I'll light the mandala-menorah excuse me, if you could just choose me I'll sing eidel deidel not fa la yeah as far as the culture I might need a clue but I'll give it a shot cause I've got to be Jewish for you I'll go with you to temple, I'll try to learn Yiddish I'll start eating kosher, I'll even play quidditch- no that's not a Jew thing, well show me some new things I won't be the slightest bit skittish I'll do it by road till it feels like it's true and till I'm verklempt I'll attempt to be Jewish for you I mean I would be Irish or Russian or French but no Chinese is a bit of a stretch just wait even your rabbi will call me a mensch did I mention I've been practicing my kvetch oh! I will adapt where the average girl freezes cause if I have to have the just friends talk, I'll have it with Jesus I'm sorry Jesus, you're just not my type whatever they are I could learn to like (latkas)? and if we have sons then they'll all have bar matsas- bar mitzvahs I'm joking I promise I know things enough not to ruin shabbat, cause if that's what it takes then that's what I'll do please don't run away and one day I'll be Jewish for you tell me you've never questioned one holy command tell me don't you think love's more romantic unplanned just tell me you're nervous, we'll start with a service just tell me where you stand tell me I need you, tell me in Hebrew, teach me l'chaim and shiksa* and oi just let me try instead of hi, I'll say shalom till my hovel feels like home and I won't say goodbye so here's what I propose I'll read through the Torah from cover to cover till even Moses could see we were meant for each other you know I adore you so let me fight for you together we'll take on your mother it might be a prayer but a prayer can come true I dare you to dare me I swear I'll come through when I'm with you I there isn't a thing I can't do so if you're inclined I won't mind being Jewish for you *Barrett says horcrux

3:31 she said fight for you LET THEM DRIVE US UNDERGROUND I DONT CARE HOW FAAAAAAR

Still a better love story than twilight

I fucking love her.

I'm singing this at me and Ben Platts wedding

I could see Patrice singing this to Evan in 13 the musical.

why cant i stop watching this!

Happy Hanukkah to the jewish people watching lol happy holidays

How does she make it look so effortless

as a jewish person this is so funny to me and she performed it so well we really stan this gentile queen

HOW AM I ONLY HEARING THIS NOW

When a Sex and the City Musical eventually happens this'll be perfect for Charlotte

i’ve watched this an unhealthy amount of times

sounds like a "broadway" - "part of your world"

WAIT HOLD MY APPLE PIE THIS IS THE GIRL WHO PLAYS VERONICA IN THE HEATHERS!?!!!!!

Sorry Jesus, you're just not my type. LMAO

OMG I'VE ALWAYS LIKED AND WATCHED THIS VID, BUT I NOW JUST REALIZE SHE PLAYS VERONICA IN THE MUSICAL HEATHERS.

Barett is flawless

3:28 “you know I adore you so let me FIGHT FOR YOU”

You know Barrett would be really good at playing Veronica in Heathers or Janise in The Mean Girls Musical

It’s 9 years later, and this still is just as funny and masterful as the first time listened. One of the best corners of musical KZfaq.😊

Would their love be God? xD

I'd like to sing this for a showcase but I'm already Jewish😂

ben platt: h- me:

*I am fully away that I'm 3 years late,* but all the corrections she does is so adorable! Also "no- Chinese is a little bit of a stretch"

Is it even possible for someone to be this gorgeous and have such an amazing voice 😊😊😊

Watching this video made me fall in love with Barrett. Her acting, her voice... just simply vulnerable perfection in front of a mic!

I LOOK UP TO THIS WOMAN SO MUCH

Barrett’s little smiles from 0:48 - 0:51 are everything

I think I've watched this around twelve times today

i love the softer breathier side of her voice!!! you don’t get to hear it in heathers and mean girls but oml🤩

I literally watch this daily

Damn I'm a bit in love with her

If my future boyfriend DOESN'T sing this to me in front of my mother, I'll be glad to show him to the door.

It is wild this video is 7 years old

you can tell shes a musical theatre actress shes so EXPRESSIVE she is every character she sings so beautifully

I love Barrett's rendition of this song, her voice is so perfect for it, and her expressions throughout the entire piece are spot on, I find myself laughing and crying though this song, her voice really makes me feel things

I was watching another vid and it rolled into this one and I was in. Rhyming yiddish and quidditch? c'mon. thats great stuff.
