Modzits, er, Skver, er, Belz... er...



This song is credited to Modzits/Skver, but it should really be Belz, er,  Belf.

BD'E - Rebbe Alter

Sad to share that Rebbe Alter has died. His music was catchy, educational, and he was one of a small handful of artists (Uncle Moishy and Marvelous Middos Machine being two others) whose work has had consistent staying power and resonance over the years.

His hits include "Pharoah in Pajamas", "Aish Is Fire", and the "Afikoman Song" (setting it to the melody of Shomrim Hafked was an ironic touch that I assume was intentional).

He educated generations of Jewish children and his songs will continue his legacy. Yehei zichro baruch.

Lipa Gets Cancelled

 Been a while since Lipa was cancelled.

I'm not impressed with much of what he's done since A Poshiter Yid, which was brilliant, and consider him to be a largely irrelevant figure on the Jewish music stage these days. 

That said, this reflects his better side. Shame on Satmar! Their rebbes (both of them) had the sense to condemn Neturei Karta publicly these past weeks. This is an embarrassment for them.

Fascinating Psak re: Aveilus on Yom Ha'atz,aut for an Israeli Rock star. 

Aviv Gefen's mid-life change of direction over the past few years has been inspiring.
