Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The Y-Studs A Capella, the all-male, Yeshiva University a cappella group that made — dare I say it? — history with their Passover-themed rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and, subsequently, their Hanukkah twist on the Chainsmoker’s “Don’t Let Me Down” and “Closer,” is back.
And this time, they’re bringing us something that doesn’t need a clever Jewish twist — because it’s the last 300 years of Jewish music.
In honor of the High Holiday season, Y-Studs A Capella presents “Evolution of Jewish Music,” a comprehensive “mega-medley” of the last 300 years in Jewish music history. Please enjoy — and don’t worry, they don’t forget to pay tribute to Adam Sandler.

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.
