WATCH: Hasidic Performers Rock Out To An Amazing Hebrew Rendition Of ‘Despacito’
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The music video for “Despacito” recently became the most watched video in YouTube’s history, with 3.3 billion views and, as someone who listens to that song seven times in a row twice a day, I can definitively say it deserves the accolade.
But I can also definitively say that the video below, of Hasidic performers Levy Falkowitz and Yossi Shtendig rocking out to a Hebrew rendition of the beloved pop hit, deserves to be witnessed 3.4 billion times.

"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.
