"She gives her money...to those in neeeeeed...."
After Mr. Schuster covered Kanye West's Gold Digger on Glee (see below for the clip), we should have known it would be open season on the catchy tune - infused with a healthy dose of Jamie Foxx channeling Ray Charles. Thankfully, this version - "Soul Bigger," brought to you by Jewish Treats, the people who brought you "I've Got a a Feeling (The Shabbat Song)" - neutralizes the chauvinism and reframes the ditty as a Rosh Hashanah anthem.
As of this posting, only 608 people have viewed it - you could push it to 700 and beyond...check it out and enjoy this first of likely several Rosh Hashanah seasonal greetings.

Jewish Treats and @JewishTweets want to know if you're ready to make your "Soul Bigger" for the High Holidays?Follow us on Twitter! http://twitter.com/JewishTweetsVisit our Facebook Page! http://facebook.com/JewishTreatsA Project of the National Jewish Outreach Program (NJOP) http://njop.orgWritten and Directed by Brian Golub and Mike Kirsch of Unique New York Entertainment http://uniquenewyorkentertainment.comChoreographed by Mike KirschLearn more about the 3 T's of the High Holidays, Teshuva (Repentance), Tefilah (Prayer) and Tzedaka (Charity), with this post taken from our http://JewishTreats.org blog:The 3 TsOn Rosh Hashanah we declare: "But repentance, prayer and charity remove the evil of the decree!" In Hebrew, these constitute the 3 Ts: Teshuva, Tefilah and Tzedaka.Teshuva (repentance) a central theme of the High Holidays, means more than just saying "sorry." Teshuva, means recognizing one's errors and making an effort not to repeat them. In many ways, teshuva is a private act because one must be introspective to recognize one's own mistakes.Tefilah (prayer) is the acknowledgment of God as the King and Ruler of the universe. Tefilah is almost private, but not quite. It is a conversation between the person and God.Tzedaka (charity) is a critical step necessary to reverse an evil decree simply because it constitutes an action. The performance of this mitzvah affects the person giving, the person receiving, and its benefits often extend to others as well. Tzedaka is reaching out beyond one's self, and is thus a public act.Everything that a person does affects the world in multiple ways. It affects the person's relationship with him/herself, their relationship with the Divine and their relationship with their fellow human beings. The path to reversing the evil of the decree must therefore involve the private, the spiritual and the public spheres of our lives.
