Watch Katy Perry as a Bar Mitzvah DJ

You remember the bar mitzvah DJ. You know, the guy who makes jokes so lame even your dad wouldn’t crack them, whose hairstyle peaked somewhere around 1974, and whose appreciation of the musical stylings of the “Cha Cha Slide” routinely calls his sanity into question.
That guy.
In a teaser video called “World’s Worst Birthday Party Entertainers,” Katy Perry does her best impression of the genre.
Meet Yosef Shulem. He’s lame, he’s cheap and if you’re looking to book your next party, he’s your man.
Perry’s promo for her new single, “Birthday,” also includes an aging glitter showgirl, a Twitter princess and a sad, sad clown. Enjoy.

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.
