Adi Ran - The Jewish Rocker

One of Israel’s most celebrated artists is the singer songwriter - Adi Ran. Ran started his musical career back in the 1990’s in Tel-Aviv’s underground bar scene. His songs were heavily critical, humorist and even anarchistic, influenced with punk music, Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin.



In 1993 Ran became a baal teshuva and got closer and closer to the Breslov Hasidim that dance around the streets of Tel Aviv and spread the word of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. But Ran’s music only got better and better. He kept his rock influence and humorist spirit (he’s got a song titled “It’s so fun to be Jewish) and began recording albums that can only be defined as Hasidic Underground.



Today, Adi Ran leads the Jewish original alternative music, and proudly carries the title “the Rocker” of Jewish music. It’s hard to even try and explain the magic that is happening in Ran's live concerts, as his music brings together all kinds of Israelis from all over the religious spectrum. People can not stay still when Ran starts to jam live on his guitar, and the next couple of hours are accompanied with wild dancing, jumping and singing like in no other show.


No need to travel to Israel - 3 of Adi Ran's albums are available online at www.eichlers.com and they are all really good. So log on and get yourself into the underground Hasidic scene.

What to buy for a Bar Mitzvah?

Mazal Tov! Your little boy made it to the Tora. We hope you tossed the candies hard enough… I remember my Bar-Mitzvah like it was yesterday. Most of all, I remember the gifts. Oh, the wonderful gifts. My family and friends gave me so much money on my Bar-Mitzvah – I had enough to put a down payment on a house. Of course that my parents took the money and put it in a bank account or something stupid like that. They took all of the money. I was devastated. Oh, the humanity!

Children, what is our lesson for today? Well, the lesson we’ve learned is ‘don’t give money to Bar-Mitzvah kids because their parents will take it.' Good! So, what should you give the Bar-Mitzvah boy?

How about the The Kestenbaum Edition Tikkun?

Just look at this! It is a Tikkun like no other. It includes the entire Chumash, the Haftaros, and the Five Megillos, in newly set Torah script. For the Bar Mitzvah boy this will be the Tikkun of choice because this Tikkun is unique - not only in the quality of its presentation, but in these many new features:

  • Facing the Tikkun page is an English translation and a concise new commentary of Scriptural songs, dotted letters, and so on
  • Laws and customs of the Torah reading
  • Bar Mitzvah Anthology with the laws and meaning of tefillin and the halachic customs of the Bar Mitzvah

There is no better Bar Mitzvah Gift - it's thoughtful and useful for anyone with a love of the Torah reading and a desire to understand it better. And - this is a gift for a lifetime, because its usefulness never ends.

Got one already? No sweat. How about a KOSHERLAMP?


For that Bar-Mitzvah kid that won't stop reading - here’s an easy way to read in bed on Shabbat!

It’s called KOSHERLAMP and he'll be able to Direct the light -- Dim the light – and even “Turn it off!” thanks to a technology which allows you to direct the light and set the brightness of your lamp with a simple twist of the shade.

And last but not least, give that Bar-Mitzvah kid something to talk about with a special gift-boxed set of The Weekly Halachah Discussion:

Breaking the ice was never easier with this comprehensive review of practical halachic issues related to the weekly Torah portion. Presented in a thorough, decisive manner with classical and contemporary halachic opinions. From separating challah to the laws of yichud and the blessings made on various breakfast cereals, this work is an asset to every Bar-Mitzvah boy.
