Moses on Facebook and Other TechnoJew Doodles

By Dan Friedman April 5, 2011

The new JewTube doodle to head for virality is not a song but a light-hearted video by Aish HaTorah.

Starting with “Go Down Moses” and using the different computer tools that we are all increasingly familiar with, Moses exits from Egypt.

For once the blinkered and earnest and, frankly fairly culturally limited, outreach program has put together 2 minutes and 17 seconds of gentle amusement. Surely there’s got to be better Pesach stuff out there though. Put links to other Pesach songs, jokes and related technological ephemera in the comments and I’ll post a round up later in the week.

Watch the Aish video, “Google Exodus” below.

Hat tip to the Giveret, Mike P and Jews around the world.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.
