A story about Matisyahu
I was about to give Matisyahu my msg after the Dec. 29th, 2005 concert in Detroit at St. Andrew’s.
I thought he was still in the concert hall so I was waiting outside for him (I didn’t care how cold it was or the fact that I wasn’t wearing a coat; I couldn’t let the possibility of my only chance to met him pass me by). I saw a Jewish boy and his father trying to get into the concert hall again to meet Matis and do Davin (I think that’s the correct spelling; it’s a type of Jewish prayer where 10 men are needed…or is it 11?)
I asked the boy if he might met Matis and he said “maybe”. I asked him if he could tell Matis “that a girl outside says thanks you for helping her see the light”. He gave me a look of surprise and agreed. He went in about 45 seconds later.
I was about to leave and the girl standing next to me asked if I wanted to see Matis and I said yes. She proceeded to tell me that he was actually in his tour bus (right behind me) and that he would be coming out soon to do Davin.
I waited a little bit longer (10-15min?) and then he came out holding a book in his hand (prayer book?). I said “Matis, thank you for helping me convert.” He looked at me, held up his hand and nodded his head and proceeded to walk into the club.
