In less than a month, the collaboration between Jew in the City and The Maccabeats, a remastered version of the song “The Sound of Silence,” has racked up almost a quarter million views on YouTube.
The feedback has been overwhelming. “Tears,” “chills,” “crying” are the words people are using again and again to describe how they feel. It is said that God creates the antidote before He creates the sickness. I think we are realizing that Jews from every walk of life are seeing how much they need an antidote to “The Sound of Silence.”

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
