Soundtrack so nightmarishly hideous and infused with evil it is clearly what they listened to after burning the Temple.
Ancient Roman music is the most unsettling shit I’ve ever heard in my life
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The music is not from a surviving score. It is new music based on guesswork. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaulia

This is incredibly exciting to see! Rabbi Yosef Krinsky was my student, many years ago, back in Vilnius, Lithuania and Slovenia was one of the incredible places I had a chance to visit as a rabbinic student.
Slovenia Becomes the Latest Country With Permanent Chabad Presence. It joins the over 100 countries that already do, as Rabbi Yossi and Rochele Krinsky prepare to establish a new Chabad center in the small Central European nation: Chabad.org/7610798

My friend @JulienReiman and I were texting about some upcoming excitement at @OpenAI , and he mentioned that he'd recently commited to putting on tefillin every day. But today, of all days, he left home before wrapping. As Providence would have it, I had reason to be nearby, and we wrapped. He was kind enough to share this awesome OpenAI kippa for others to use in the future when they wrap!

This United flight to Tel Aviv is delayed at the gate and a young Chabadnik is walking up and down the aisles with tefillin asking passengers if they are Jewish and have they wrapped tefillin today.

Chabad is the single greatest force for good we have. And we are so blessed to have them. This is the joy of over 6,000 Rabbis from more than 100 countries together in one place.
