Jewish beatboxers? Yes, there is such a thing. The Orthobox, a music group comprised of Ilan and Josh, performed on America’s Got Talent. I thought their Tuesday night performance—covering “All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor—was very impressive! (So did the judges, all 4 voted “Yes,” advancing them to the next round.)
Another interesting fact: They met in Israel, at the Western Wall, of all places! Missed the audition? Check it out on YouTube.
Why do you always promote the Orthodox? They repress women.
Because I want TJL to be inclusive, I blog about all streams of Judaism. I don’t promote one form of observance over another. For the record, I’m Reform. As for Orthodox oppression, yes, some do. Others, don’t. Let’s try to be fair.
