Think You’ve Got Talent? Oorah is Auditioning!



It’s a tough market for aspiring Jewish singers. It’s not just about talent—it’s about who you know, buzz, and having a great demo. Of course, there’s also the little matter of finding a good composer to write an original track. And a producer to produce it. And then there’s the recording studio fees. And an engineer. Don’t forget distribution. Perhaps a good agent. There’s a reason most guys are discouraged faster than you can say “demo.”

But it may be your lucky day.

Oorah has once again launched its Auditions competition. We’re giving everyone with a voice the chance to be heard. Submissions can be sent either by mail, as an email attachment, or over the phone. Five finalists will be chosen, and the winner will be professionally recorded on the Oorah CD. And with a worldwide circulation in the hundreds of thousands, this is a surefire way to become known.

To enter your submission, call 732-415-7405 or email attachments to auditions@oorah.org. Mailed in entries go to: Auditions Dept. c/o Oorah, 1805 Swarthmore Ave., Lakewood, NJ 08701.

The deadline for entries is January 15, 2009.

The Chabad House of Mumbai Under Siege on HBO

A ten minute excerpt from the HBO documentary "Terror in Mumbai", a 47 minute film about the 11/26 attacks on Mumbai in 2008.

These ten minutes are the only content featured on the documentary which discusses the attack on the Chabad House AKA Nariman House there.

"Terror in Mumbai"

On the evening of November 26, 2008, ten young Pakistani men reached Mumbai in a small hijacked fishing boat, having slaughtered its captain and crew, and glided unnoticed into the teeming Indian port city. Over the next three days, armed with cell phones, machine guns, and fruit and nuts to sustain them, they unleashed coordinated attacks across the city that left at least 170 people dead and more than 300 wounded, sending shockwaves of fear around the world. Narrated by Mumbai-born Fareed Zakaria, CNN host and Newsweek International editor, and directed by award-winning filmmaker Dan Reed (HBO's "Terror in Moscow"), TERROR IN MUMBAI provides a 360-degree view of a terrorist act, recounting in harrowing detail the bloody events of that 60-hour period.

Warning! Contains graphic content.
