We cannot properly publish a list of the 150 Greatest Jewish Pop Songs of All Time without also providing a convenient playlist for your listening enjoyment. And so we scoured the deep recesses of Apple Music to create a curated, four-and-a-half-hour, 59-song playlist featuring a representative selection of the complete Top 150. All you have to do is press play, sit back, and spend the better part of a day letting this great Jewish music wash over you. Some of it may make you get up and dance; some of it will undoubtedly make you laugh; some of it may make you mad; and some of it will undoubtedly make you cry. All the things that great music can do. We had a lot of fun putting all of this together. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed working on it.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
