Oy Gevolt, It’s Tshiribim!
By Dan Friedman January 9, 2012
We’ve covered the Yiddish metal band Gevolt before, after their first album, “Sidur,” in 2007 here and here. And, even, since their new album “Alefbase” came out in 2011, as part of the — no-joking — Yiddish metal scene here and here. But the new video for the track “Tshiribim Tshiribom” is great. I think it’s time more metal had violin solos and hand punches at Tshiribium “BOM!”
You can hear other tracks of theirs at the MySpace page.
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.
