Thoughts about Torah, physics, politics, the independent Jewish scene, education, music, DC, and the intersections of all those areas.

I would love to hear songs that in their original lyrics have a religious message. I'm think something like dylan's "gotta serve somebody" (ok that might sounds a bit weird, but you get the point)
Here is this year's Purim ma'ariv lineup. It's hard to do this year after year (this was my 7th consecutive time) without some repeats, but this is mitigated by the high rate of turnover in my community, so I was able to get away with recycling some old material without too many people caring. But there was plenty of new material too. I should also note that I consulted beforehand with Desh, who did a similar service in Philly.
So here's the setlist: Vehu rachum - The Who, "My Generation" Barechu - high holiday ma'ariv, into shabbat ma'ariv Ma'ariv Aravim - The Lion King, "Circle of Life" Ahavat Olam - "The Star-Spangled Banner" Shema - high holiday Torah service ("Adonai Eloheichem emet" in yom tov ma'ariv) Mi Chamocha - Madonna, "Like a Prayer" Hashkiveinu - Green Day, "Basket Case" that extraneous berachah - Queen, "We Are The Champions" chatzi kaddish - high holiday musaf, into Debbie Friedman, "I Am A Latke"
Audio links to this year Maariv, past years Maariv, and the long-anticipated AFTP Kabbalat Shabbat would be appreciated!
