SO MANY questions:
Why is Tom Hanks dressed like a rabbi?
Why is Tom Hanks hanging out with Justin Bieber?
Why are they singing the Montell Jordan classic at what looks to be some kind of wedding or bar mitzvah?
Nevertheless, the video is delightful, as is anything Tom Hanks. Enjoy!

According to Vanity Fair, the video was taken at Scooter Braun’s wedding reception, which took place over the July 4 weekend. (Braun is Bieber’s manager.)
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.
