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.’

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
