Record-Breaking Sing-Along
An effort is under way to organize the world’s largest sing-along. The tune? Israel’s national anthem. Galia Albin, an Israeli businesswoman, is calling on people around the world to belt out “Hatikva” on May 7 — Israel’s 60th birthday — and break the Guinness World Record for the most people singing an anthem simultaneously. The event will commence at 10:50 p.m. Israel time. For more information, go to www.livehatikva.org.

With so much at stake for the Jewish people right now — war, rising antisemitism, a high-stakes U.S. presidential election — American Jews depend on the Forward's perspective, integrity and courage.
