Intentionally or not, Bob Dylan pretty much invents rock ‘n’ roll midrash with this 1965 hit, a “slapstick retelling” of the Akeidah — the binding of Isaac. It opens with the line, “God said to Abraham, ‘Kill me a son’,” to which “Abe” (which happens to be Dylan’s father’s name) replies, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on.” Extra points for the Borsch...
. The title song of Leonard Cohen’s final album in 2016 features backing by the choir from his childhood synagogue in Montreal, Congregation Shaar Hashomayim, and an authentic khazonish solo by Cantor Gideon Zelermyer. It includes a line from the Kaddish — “Magnified and sanctified be thy holy name” — and a quotation from Avraham Avinu in the origi...
No, this is not an ode to the hipster trend of inking every inch of flesh. Rather, the tattoo in question is one of the dehumanizing elements of the Holocaust. In this story of a young woman at Auschwitz, Janis Ian sings, “Centuries live in her eyes / Destiny laughs over jack-booted thighs / ‘Work makes us free’ says the sign / Nothing leaves here ...
Psychedelic guitar wunderkind Randy California — born Randy Wolfe — solemnly intones the first line of Psalm 133 (aka “Hinei Ma Tov”) in Hebrew before letting loose with an ecstatic flurry of velvet fuzz over his band’s jazzy 6/4 groove. Just to title a rock song “Jewish” in 1968 was a provocative statement. — JK and DE
A searing rap statement on the Holocaust by Remedy (born Ross Filler aka Reuven Ben Menachem), the first non-Black and only Jew affiliated with the epochal hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan. Introduced with the familiar words of the Kiddush blessing over wine (in pointedly Ashkenazic pronunciation), the narration then descends into a Dantesque tour o...
As Jenny Singer noted in these pages,when the Haim sisters sing: “The tears behind your dark sunglasses / The fears inside your heart as deep as gashes / You walk beside me, not behind me,” they appear to be riffing on the lyrics to “Lo Yisa Goy,” the perennial anti-war anthem heard at Jewish summer camps throughout North America. There’s also the ...
A midrashic rewriting of the story of Samson told from Delilah’s point of view and chock-full of biblical references, by this Russian-Jewish singer-songwriter, whose family left the USSR for the Bronx when Regina Spektor was nine years old. — MF
How did a song written by a west coast hip-hop group, a Catholic pop star and a French DJ become a Jewish dance tune second in popularity only to the hora? Read Julie Potash Slavin’s accompanying essayto find out.
On its surface, “Eternal Flame,” is a harmony-laden power ballad about everlasting love that the Bangles rode to the top of the charts in 1989. The title, however — according to cowriter Billy Steinberg — refers to the ner tamid (eternal flame) that burns above the ark in every synagogue. As a child learning about the different aspects of his synag...
