Knock, knock...

Who's there?

A ditty so pretty it can revive a dead and buried blog! 

Ahhhhhh! I'll just leave this here and head back to the different job, different address, different car and two new kids since we spoke last.

Shu-loim, vilihisru-ois!

TTT :: Sois Osis • Dovid Gabay

So vanilla as to not even be terrible. It's just not...anything. Lyrics are indiscernible, harmonies are haphazard, and yet, this tune almost escaped being TTT'd until the vocal effect at 3:09.

L'chaim Rebbe!

Today, 11 Nissan, marks the 112th birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Monday night, thousands of community seders will be held in every part of the world, inspired and established by the Rebbe.

When we take our seats at the seder, we’ll be celebrating with millions of our fellow Jews in shared pride and joy. As the Rebbe taught, please invite the “Fifth Son” too, the child not mentioned in the Haggadah because he or she did not plan to be present. Together, we can complete the vision of a truly united celebration of Jewish freedom.

Thank you Rebbe, for your enduring gift of unity.

TTT :: Yi-ha-li-lu • Yeshiva Boys Choir

This was literally shown to me on a silver browser. Top news on the Jew sites. Wow. It's like a parody of itself, only you're not sure if it's a willing partner to the joke.

Es Tzemach • The Rabbis' Sons

Of course the rest of you all know this, but I had a hard time remembering if it was "Rabbis apostrophe" or "Rabbi apostrophe s". Well, the group got its name because Chait, Sharfman and Weinberger were all sons of rabbis. (Wikipedia) So, "Rabbis apostrophe".

Again, friends: These gentlemen are rabbis' sons but are not The Rabbis' Sons. Photo for illogical illustrative purposes only.

And...we're live for Rosh Chodesh!

Ahhhh, Yerushalayim! • Tzlil V'zemer/MBD

Literally, the only picture that comes up when you search "Tzlil V'Zemer." Is it my fault?

Same with "King of Jewish Music". Go figure.

Shameless.
