Since I think these songs are fun, and given the lack of time, it made sense to link to last year's post.
Hag Urim Sameach! Have a great festival of lights.

8 + Songs for Chanukah
Like everyone else I know, I didn't figure out everything that needed to happen for Hanukah until getting back from Thanksgiving Break (which for Amherst was quite long).

Sweet New Year
I was told I haven't been posting enough on my blog, so here is some New Year themed entertainment and learning. For info on Rosh Hashanah, check out Hillel's web site.With wishes of a sweet New Year for you and your families. May the old year take its curses with it and the new year bring with it blessings.
לשנה טובה תכתיבו
May you be inscribed for a year of meaning & health.
May we merit to see peace speedily in our day!

Now for the fun:
A fun video made by students at Rutgers:
Rosh Hashanah Girl
(Inspired by "I Got a Crush...On Obama" starring Obama Girl Hot on the heels of YouTube sensation “Obama Girl”, “I Gotta’ Love You Rosh Hashanah” is the musical journey of a girl and her shofar as she welcomes the Jewish New Year! Follow Rosh Hashanah Girl as she sings and dances through the streets of New York — from Central Park to Times Square to the rooftops of Brooklyn, she’s got everyone singing “R to the O to the S to the H” ... and soon you will be too!).
Two Rosh Hashanah videos of Shabot 6000 (from a weekly series by Ben Baruch):
Tekiah
Head of the Year
Thanks to my college friend, Wendy Robin Stark, who emailed me two additional videos from YouTube (I believe I posted the second one last year):
This is a RH themed version of a classic Muppets bit. (How do you say Muppets in Hebrew?)
This is hard to describe.

New Take on the Holocaust
This year, Grammy award winning Israeli violinist Miri Ben-Ari andIsraeli rap/hip-hop star Kobi "Subliminal" Shimoni have co-produced a hip-hop music video expressing their sentiments on the Shoah. It is called "God Almighty When Will it End."
It is non-traditional and--for many--disturbing. In Israel, CD/Video was distributed by the thousands to students in schools, by recommendation, approval and blessing of -- amongst others --Professor Yehuda Bauer (Israel's leading historian on the Holocaust) and Rabbi BennyLau (son of Holocaust survivor and former Israeli Chief Rabbi Yisrael M eirLau). As highly traditional people, they both praised this genuine effort to make the message of the Holocaust relevant to a disconnected younger generation.
As the generation of survivors pass away and new generations grow up without the personal contact to these truth-tellers, it is important to examine new ways to transmit the Holocaust. Even if this is not the way I would have chosen, it is worth examination. May we continue to grapple with the memory of the Six Million victims and its impact on our humanity.

Much of the above text comes from an email distributed by Rabbi Daniel Bouskila of Sephardic Temple Tifereth Israel (Los Angeles)
As usual, there has been a number of blog posts about this including two (here and here) on jewschool.

Rosh Hashanah Sermons
I have posted my two Rosh Hashanah Sermons.
The one about Israel is based on a sample sermon for Masorti distributed by my teacher, Rabbi Gordon Tucker. It references a conference call with Israeli PM Olmert and ends with a discussion about Ramadan and Rosh Hashanah.
The other sermon uses the popular video internet site, YouTube, and the Albert Brooks movie, Defending Your Life, to discuss tshuvah.
I will post the Yom Kippur Sermons after the holiday ends. If you want to see them before then, come to services at Chapin Chapel, Amherst College (6:00 pm Sunday or 9:30am Monday).
Gmar hatimah tova,
May you be sealed for a great year!
