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.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
