Drunk and high ‘skateboard rabbi’ is the next contestant on ‘The Price is Right’ [VIDEO]
Posted by JewishJournal.com
Screenshot of Joshua Androsky's appearance on 'The Price is Right' (YouTube)It’s gotta be a high when you’re chosen as a “Price is Right” contestant, but for comedian Josh Androsky, it’s a whole different high.
Androsky recently became a reddit sensation when his appearance on CBS’s “The Price is Right” hit youtube. The “skateboard rabbi” was unexpectedly successful with his $1 strategy and made it all the way to The Big Wheel. More surprising is that he did all of this in an altered state.
“I’m an idiot and I took mushrooms, got drunk, then went on The Price Is Right and lied to Drew Carey’s melting face,” wrote Androsky on the summary of his Youtube video.
Way to go Josh! You just strengthened the stereotype by low bidding on TPIR.
Check out the video and let us know what you think!

Clean-shaven Matisyahu releases teaser for new song ‘Sunshine’ [VIDEO]
Posted by JewishJournal.com
The “new” Matisyahu released a preview of his upcoming music video for the new song Sunshine this morning. Sporting [what appears to be] frosted tips, multiple scarves, skinny jeans and no kippah (headcovering), the new baby-faced Matisyahu looks like a love-child between an L.A. hipster and a youth group advisor.
But image isn’t everything. Unchanged is his voice and musical style, which still reminds us why we love him today. What do you think of the new appearance?

Shalom Sabar at the Library of Congress: The Washington Haggadah and The Szyk Haggadah.
This video is a portion of the documentary film, “In Every Generation: Remaking The Szyk Haggadah (Historicana and JKR Productions, 2008), directed by Emmy-nominated Jim Ruxin.
Drawn and first published during the rise of Hitler, the Passover Haggadah of Polish-Jewish artist Arthur Szyk (1894-1951) is a triumphant and enduring work of hope and courage, and the supreme expression of one artist’s love for his people and his heritage. The luxury limited edition of The Szyk Haggadah, limited to only 300 copies, is a landmark of Jewish art and culture.
