And then there are lists that are even more ambitious. Tablet, an online Jewish magazine, recently published a list answering the question, "What Are the 100 Greatest Jewish Songs of All Time?" It's a very fun list, mixing vaudeville with the High Holidays, Broadway and "Dayeinu." Before I give you the link, I want you to think: What would you choose as the greatest Jewish song of all time? Use any criteria you want. [I'll wait while you think.] OK, now you can look at the list. (The original article, with explanations for the choices, is here.)
Now share! Leave a comment telling us your pick for the top song. What do you think of the list? What would you have done differently?
Great article. Lots of songs I never would have thought of. I don't want to give things away, but I will say that their #2 song was my #1, simple because it's the most recognizable Jewish song I think. I don't think anyone will guess their #1..quite a shocker.
