OLD TIME TORAH SCROLL



The other night we went to a wonderful program of the second grade class at the San Diego Jewish Academy starring, ta-da Julia Polacheck, who looked very beautiful. OK, let's face it there were no real "stars" of this production, but she certainly shined the brightest to me.


The highlight of the evening, other than seeing Julia look so beautiful, was when the performance moved into their performance of "Old time rock and roll" with the revised lyrics of:

"Just give me that old time Torah Scroll
I need something to move my soul..."


I thought this was brilliant on the part of the SDJA--then I found out that this brilliance is brought to you by the Jewish Weird Al Yankovick, otherwise known as Schlock Rock. I kid you not...this is a band.


According to their bio:
"Shlock Rock is a Jewish rock and roll band. Lenny Solomon started the ball rolling in 1986 and since then the band has released 27 tapes and CD's covering all types of music from parody to original and children’s."


Jacob watched the entire production from his very comfortable spot under the table.


We lured him out for a family picture...


and then back to the star of the show!!
A fun night was had by all!!
