Shatnez in Ugg Boots?

When you think of the prohibition shatnez do you think of shoes or boots? Well now apparently you should! There is a big issue with boots sold from Ugg and apparently they may have shatnez, so if you have a pair you should get them checked. Here is an article that discusses it in more detail.

Eitan Katz Feat. Benny Friedman - B'fi Yeshorim: Jewish Music video

It is always great to see excellent collaborations in the Jewish Music world.
Eitan Katz composed this gem and it also features the vocals by Benny Friedman.
This composition will take you back to the classics.
This is not what you would call contemporary! As stylistically it is a throw back to the way Jewish music sounded back in the 70's (maybe some 80's) and the arrangement is simply beautiful with piano by the great "Rambam". It is truly a treat!



 

The Maccabeats @ Yom Limmud in Houston
