In the wake of Glee's infamous take on Kanye West's "Gold Digger" comes another parody, this time by the National Jewish Outreach Program (NJOP)'s Jewish Treats.

"Soul Bigger" focuses on the Jewish New Year's themes of teshuva (repentance), tefillah (prayer) and tzeddakah (charity). NJOP hopes to encourage Jews around the world, regardless of affiliation, to make their souls bigger this Rosh Hashanah.

The blast of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah calls out to all of us: "Wake up! You have been sleeping!" The slumber is clear. The choice is ours. But to what is it that we awaken?

That was sweet. Too bad religions can't just focus on the humanist values of kindness and compassion shown here.

For me, "Gold Digger" represents 2006. I first heard it used in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmucT5tzkm8, then in Spike Lee's movie "The Inside Man", then in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmxpX6I0qQE

That's how I'll forever associate the song.

God's chosen people are singing like they are in a Southern Baptist church...lot's of soul (literally and figuratively).

That dude has a great voice. The background singers were good also!

Totally awesome!

It's been awhile since my communication law class, but I believe it is identifiable and a parody, credit is not necessary.
