The Tribe Has Spoken— Passover Edition

What is it about Passover that just brings out the Rap music?

This musical Passover Greeting is actually a video cartoon promo for Sam Apple's new book, Schlepping Through the Alps: My Search for Austria's Jewish Past with Its Last Wandering Shepherd . You gotta’ love that hip hop "Who Let the Jews Out" soundtrack (vidlit folks, watch out!).

No books to sell (yet) but those Jib Jab folks are at it again with a rap-sodic paean to matzah.

And the animated Shabot6000 has its own Passover hip hop crossover, with Seda’ Club, a 50 Cent-ric riff intended for mature audiences, please.

For traditional take on sedar songs—a rousing rendition of Dayeinu anyone?—this site will you get humming in no time. (Thanks to Lizzie, the altehaggen)

By the time you’re on your third verse of Chad Gadya, pop over to the Forward and read "Every Jew Must Have a Goat", a new short story by Pearl Abraham. (Thanks to our friend, Ron Hogan).

Still in the mood for some Passover-themed lit? There’s always the dioramatic rendering of Exodus, Lego-style.

Next year in Jerusalem, baby. Peace out.
