Tommy Ramone was born in Budapest, Hungary to Jewish parents who survived the Holocaust in hiding. Other Jewish punk and proto-punk notables are Lou Reed, Hilly Kristal (founder of CBGB), Mick Jones (The Clash), Adam Horovitz and Adam Yauch (Young Aborigines, later the Beastie Boys), and Marc Bolan (T.Rex).

Contributed by: Rose-Ella Slavin. Shalom Rav by Jeff Klepper and Dan Freelander.

The prayer Shalom Rav was put to music in 1974 and was my favorite song in BBYO and Jewish camp services when I was a teenager. It was also sung at my Reform synagogue. When I joined CEH, we didn’t sing the song as part of services. Jonah Rosman interviewed some congregants over ZOOM during COVID, and he asked me what my favorite prayer was. I said it was Shalom Rav except that I missed singing it. I’m sad that it is the events of October 7th which has brought this song to our service, but it is still my favorite – and the most deeply felt part – of the Friday night service. Thank you to Gary Singer for incorporating it. Learn More.

“”Underneath the song’s silliness lies a semi-serious purpose: To make Jewish kids like the young Adam Sandler (and the young me) feel seen and understood during a holiday season where it’s easy to feel invisible if you’re not celebrating Christmas or kissing up to Santa Claus.”” Learn More.

Contributed by: Omer Bot. If I were a Rich Man music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick.

“”Since its Broadway debut in 1964, Fiddler on the Roof has been a pillar of American Jewish culture and a worldwide phenomenon. When its original run ended in 1972, it became the longest running Broadway musical at the time with 3,242 performances. Since then, it has been revived numerous times and performed in 16 languages and 32 countries. Upon initial consideration, the enormous popularity of Fiddler on the Roof seems surprising due to its lack of obvious appeal beyond a Jewish audience. “”
