The A Team presents a Symphony Chuppah featuring Benny Friedman.
The idea to use two very unique songs not often sung to the tune of Mi Adir and Mi Bon Siach came from dear friend and partner on the west coast: Naftali Finkel of the Shira Orchestra LA, in honor of his sons wedding.
Watch and Enjoy as we performed Mi Adir to the tune of Hamalach by London School of Jewish Song and Mi Bon Siach to the tune Yedid Nefesh off MBDs album Hold On.

Those expecting Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy to flame out any day now will have to keep waiting.
The former US vice president survived another Democratic debate on Thursday largely unbloodied and unbowed, leaving those on the margins of the race for the party’s 2020 nomination wondering if their time to gain ground on the front-runner is running out.
If anything, the third Democratic debate in Houston was notable for how few of the nine other candidates took hard swings at Biden, a marked contrast from earlier debates when his record was more directly challenged.
The evening likely left the race fairly much as it was before the debate, with Biden holding a sizeable, but not overwhelming lead over US Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill that protects the right of Jewish residents to place a mezuzah on their doorposts, including dormitory rooms and apartments.
Senate Bill 652, known as the “Mezuzah Bill,” mandates that property owners “shall not enforce or adopt a restrictive covenant or any other restriction that prohibits one or more religious items from being displayed or affixed on any entry door or entry door frame of a dwelling.”
A mezuzah is a parchment scroll with Torah verses handwritten on it by an expert scribe placed on the doorpost of a Jewish person’s home and often on interior rooms of the home.

Health officials, lawmakers and parents have been raising alarms about vaping for a couple of years, warning that products touted as healthier alternatives for smokers are instead drawing in young people with fun flavors and slick marketing.
But the caution has taken on new urgency in recent weeks as authorities scramble to understand a rash of mysterious vaping-linked illnesses that have put healthy people in the hospital with serious lung diseases. On Tuesday, authorities announced a sixth death connected to e-cigarettes, which are battery-powered devices that can look like flash drives and pens and that mimic smoking by heating liquids with substances such as nicotine and marijuana.

WATCH:

Congress is deadlocked over a resolution supporting a two-state solution to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict, even as members push to bring the resolution to a vote shortly after next week’s Knesset elections and before the impending release of the Trump administration’s peace plan.
The resolution, authored by Reps. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA), Karen Bass (D-CA) and Gerry Connolly (D-VA), was passed by the House Foreign Affairs Committee before the August recess but failed to come to the floor with a slew of other Israel-related bills, as Democrats debated over specific language included in the resolution.
