Israelis. Hip hop. Orthodox female singers. Psalms. Implied political implications.
This music video, a new setting of Psalm 102:14 by Julliard-educated religious musician Franciska in collaboration with the Halelu hip-hop troupe, has it all.
Come for the amazing thing one of the dancers does with her ponytail, stay for the spiritually catchy all-female psalm rendition, ‘Al Takum.’
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.
