A guide to the top 5773 Rosh Hashanah YouTube videos!
By Uri FintzyEvery year our Facebook friends, Twitter followers and fellow emailers send us Rosh Hashanah videos.
They are usually parodies of popular songs — and amateurish (or sometimes too professional). Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they’re endearing, but most times they kind of get old after the, umm, 100th share. So we decided to ease on the pre-holiday headache and put this year’s top Rosh Hashanah videos on one ultimate page for you to share. We just want your newsfeed to be clean and tidy — it’s a new year, you know.
Shana Tova!
