Lady GaGa Gets the Hasidic Treatment
By Dan Friedman June 23, 2010
From the opening explosion to 360 degrees of streimels, there’s nothing less than stellar about this Yoel Brach production.
Faced with, on the one hand, overwhelming demand from Hasidic partygoers to hear the mellifluous warbling of Stefani Germanotta and, on the other, the blanket prohibition on listening to semi-naked gentile women who are writhing on stage, the band crammed the spirit of Lady GaGa into the bodies of a minyan of musicmakers (in a kosher way).
This YouTube video makes you know that Shaya and Perry had a great simcha. Mazel tov.

Hat tip to Tony Weiss for all things Hasidic.
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.
