Happy Star Wars Shabbat!
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the seventh movie in the celebrated franchise opened on Friday (we already have our tickets).
For those of you about to brave the movie theater lines this weekend to get that prime middle or back row seat, here’s something to get you in the mood. Jewish world soul band Zusha has created a “Star Wars”-themed niggun that had the entire Forward office humming the Imperial March.
“Darth Vader’s Niggun” gives the iconic tune, originally composed by John Williams (who has scored basically every Hollywood blockbuster), a nice soulful, Jewish twist.
Listen below:
In honor of Star Wars, Shabbos, and elevating the dark side….we present: ‘Darth Vader’s Niggun’

May The Force be with Jew!
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.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
