Before the sombre and penitent mood of Yom Kippur begins this evening, I felt inclined to post a tribute to my friend Bruce. In spite of the numerous benefits of living in beautiful and tropical Cleveland Ohio, Bruce elected to shlep his family to dreary old California. By now he should be well settled-in under the cheerless skies of the West Coast. In his honor (and to hopefully add some much-needed cheer) I present the appropriate surfer music, with just a touch of tribute from the Jewish friend he left behind.

(Seriously Chris, knock ‘em dead out there!)

For my Gentile Brothers and Sisters, this is “Hava Nagila” done “Misirlou” style.
