LISTEN: The greatest Jewish pop songs (a curated Apple playlist)

We cannot properly publish a list of the 150 Greatest Jewish Pop Songs of All Time without also providing a convenient playlist for your listening enjoyment. And so we scoured the deep recesses of Apple Music to create a curated, four-and-a-half-hour, 59-song playlist featuring a representative selection of the complete Top 150. All you have to do is press play, sit back, and spend the better part of a day letting this great Jewish music wash over you. Some of it may make you get up and dance; some of it will undoubtedly make you laugh; some of it may make you mad; and some of it will undoubtedly make you cry. All the things that great music can do. We had a lot of fun putting all of this together. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed working on it.
