According Jewish Mayhem’s Gazan media sources; due to Israel’s successful crippling blockade on Gaza, coupled with Egypt’s recent construction of it’s ground-breaking, underground, Arab-Apartheid wall, Hamas is resorting to using extreme measures in order to generate needed funds for it’s war effort on Israel: Hamas is entering the world sexual prosthetic industry by marketing it’s first line of dildos to Gazan women in late 2010, called Pal-Esnises.
Seeing their income dwindle from the smuggled import of drugs and white prostitutes from Eastern Europe in the last few months Hamasa has ahd to come up with new means of income. Hamas ordered Hamas’ most well endowed men to appear to the Koos Amak Mosque in Gaza city, and drop their drawers for Palestine in order to be casted as molds for the new line of sex toys. Inside sources in Hamas that need to remain anonymous told Jewish Mayhem via intermediaries, that the due to the small sizes of the Hamas members penises the entire project was in jeapordy; but the project was rescued when they finally settled for purchasing three generic models that were already available in China, which ironically were modeled after Jewish xxx legends Ron Jeremy, and Even Stone.
According to Jewish Mayhem’s sources in American Intelligence Community, this move by Hamas is direct retaliation to Hassan Nasrallah and to Hezbolla’s fighters recent acts of insulting Hamas fighter’s honor and dignity at joint terrorist events, parties and functions. “Hamas vows to be the biggest dicks on the terrorist block.” Is how Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal put it one insider claims.
The Pal-Esnises come in two colors black and flesh colored, and in one size, large. They should be available for sale off of Hamas official website
“Albany” Lou Samberg, cousin to SNL’s Adam Samberg, is a hard working young Hebrew from New York State, who likes to bust out rhymes about his life and what’s important to him to the sound of hip hop beats.
JM: Who are the Jews in your family?
AL:Both Mother and Father are 100% Jewish. My Fathers last name is Samberg and my mother’s mother was Cohen. I had a crash-course Bar Mitzvah when I turned 13. I never did understand the tradition of tossing candy at the Bar Mitzvah Boy. My Father recalls me chucking it right back at people HARD…lol
JM: How do you define yourself? A rapper? A hip hop artist? Producer? AL: A rapper, entertainer, dogman, father, businessman. I havn’t realy dabbled in production aspect of Hip Hop. I believe I could do it, but I’m more about the verbal expression.
JM: Where did your “name” come from?
AL: Growing up in Albany NY, people knew me as Lou/Louie/Casino/White Lou/Lou the Jew/Snozz/Boss. The name Albany Lou came about when I started going out of town to get money. It was then that I started advertising my game-bred pitbulls in various dog magazines under the alias “Albany Lou”. When I began taking the music seriously, it was natural for me to keep that name.
JM: Are you signed to any labels? AL: I have not signed any papers at this point though I have had offers from some smaller labels. I’m a little uncomfortable with signing anything besides autographs. I am lucky that my cousin is an entertainment Lawyer that can help.
JM: How many CD’S/Albums have you released so far? AL: 3 released and one on the way SOON. I have only one actual album at this point. I feel the mixtape route is a much better way to accumulate a buzz. Once I’m in the public eye a bit more then I’ll start droppin more albums.
1. DEAD GAME(the album)
2.DEAD GAME vol 2 hosted by the mix-king DJ Life
3 Back in the box
4 comin soon
JM: Who were your biggest musical influences when you started? AL: I started listening to hip hop when the west was real popular (Snoop, Dre, Ice Cube, Cypress hill etc. Then came Wu, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Outkast, Big Pun, Twista, Jay Z, Dmx, The Lox, Eminem, etc. It would be hard to say which artist influenced me the most though.
JM: Whose music influences you today? AL: Honestly, the people around me that I grew up with are all worthy Mc’s and they probably shape me more than anyone else. We all kind of build off each other, although at this point they dont realy persue the music the way I do. As of lately, the rappers outside my circle that I listen to are Necro and ill bill, I’m feelin that new Hellraiser and Shabazz album, but not a lot of rap I hear inspires me the way it used to.
JM: Where did you grow up, where were you raised and where is home for you? AL: I was born in Chinatown (NYC) but my family moved to long island a couple years later. My mother and I went through some really tough times and tough years. I stayed with my grandfather for a couple of years and then moved to Albany myself. Albany is definately my home. I’ve been here since I was ten and I know everyone.
JM: Is Tupac really alive? AL: Josh your a jerk(smile).
JM: Whose music rubs you the wrong way? AL: I don’t really ever get rubbed the wrong way by music, even when maybe it should at times. I’m a little mad at Eminem for not putting on another talented white rapper. Em, we are out here and yes we had it hard too!
JM: How did you get to where you are now? What were the big breaks and events? AL: Haha, I’m still lookin for that big break.
JM: Has there been anyone who has mentored or really helped you along the way? AL: I have great support through friends and family, but my answer has to be no. I do it mostly on my own even when they say it’s not possible!
JM: When did you first start getting into the performance side of music? AL: When I was eleven, three of my friends and I performed Bobby brown’s “Get away” in the school lip sink contest., after that it was house party. I think performing is somthing that has always been in my blood.
JM: Who do you hang out with, anyone noteworthy? AL: My 1st Cousin Andy Samberg is real popular on SNL. I’m also close with DJ Life (Blockburners/streetsweepers/BLACKFOOT ENT. He’s like Albany’s Kayslay and his name is known heavy in NY, and in Jersey.
JM: What song has had the biggest impact on you personally? AL: What song of mine? I would say my Dead Game song because of the creativity that went into makin it and because of the effect that it had on other people. It gave me my original fan base.
JM: What do you write about in your songs?
AL: Life in general. I’m not the type of artist that sticks to the script. No one is one-dimensional. If I feel happy then I make a happy song and if Im angry it also shows in my music.
JM: What bothers you about the music business? AL: The same thing that bothers me about Life. Not enough loyalty, too much ego, and very little truth. Plus, its’ all about a buck. Deserving artists that make real authentic music are the ones who should be reaping the benefits.
JM: How has being a Jew or in other less popular words, has having Jewish blood in your veins made a difference in your life? AL: It’s made all the difference in many ways and yet no difference at all in others. First of all, let me say that I did not grow up around Jews. My mother and I celebrated Hanukah every year. When I was young I used to get into fights because I was constantely ridiculed for being Jewish but I was always proud. I was never afraid to stand up for myself the same way my grandfathers did when they were alive. I also got a lot of love from certain people. My friends often said “Lou ain’t white, he’s Jewish.” When I was young that phenomenon made me feel accepted.
JM: Is being a Jew important to you? Please explain. AL: Absolutely. Although I am not religious, being Jewish is a big part of my identity.I wouldn’t want to be anything else. A part of me feels very special to be a part of something so ancient and strong!
JM: What do you do for beats? AL: My brother Legacy from the Dead Game video, he also produced the track, and my dawg Damian. Both childhood friends and both great producers. Other than that I jack other peoples beats for my mixtapes.
JM: Do you play any instruments? AL: No, but I can sing.
JM: What is your favorite city? AL: Vegas is the shit, NYC is mind blowin, Atlanta is beautiful, Beacon is quaint, but Id have to say I’m the most at home in Albany.
JM: Have you been to Israel? AL: I had the opportunity to go when I was younger but I was so rapped up in my own chaotic life to accept the offer. Now i regret it. I do plan to go one day as I have family in Israel.
JM: Do you know what tribe you are from? Levi, Judah?
All I know is my grandmother was a Cohen.My family came from Russia, Lithuania, and poland to the united states in early 1900.
JM: Do you pay attention to what is going on with Israel?
To be truthful I hardly watch American news or Tv at all for that matter.I am behind my people 100%, though,I would really like to visit Israel and see it for myself.
JM: What’s coming up for you?
Well I sent Necro my Cd i havnt heard back fro him yet.i kinda want o do a song or two with phsycological.im supposed to be touring with Gym class heroes next summer. Right now its about sellin cds and tryin to get more shows
JM: What’s your favorite piece of musical equipment? AL: Microphone hands down.
JM: Which one of your songs do you like the most and why? AL: Their are so many that I love but iI would have to say Only Human, because it was from the heart. I listen to it for inspiration and it reminds me that I can do, it if he can do it. I also like Electricity, its the opposite of Only Human, but somehow has the same effect.
JM:Have you been in the media yet, and if so, how so? AL: Well right now The PETA people are on my ass.
JM: Are you a spiritual or religious person? AL: Definitely spiritual, not religious, for some reason I only pray when I’m High though (4:20).
JM: Where can people buy your music? AL: http://MYSPACE.COM/ALBANYLOU I have a paypal. Other than that, come to Albany and I’ll sell you one personally.
JM: Who made your videos? AL: I made every single one! I must say that for the limated resources I have they came out Damn good. All I have is a digital camera SRAIGHT RAW !
JM: Any shoutouts? AL: First of all JEWISH MAYHEM MAGAZINE!!! Second of all my Mother (the strongest woman alive!) my Father, my Son who is my everything and my Fiancé, and of course everyone that I consider family!! .

Song of Songs 7:12
2007 Marks the second decade of HE’BREW Beer and to celebrate this monumental marker, Shmaltz Brewing Co. presents ORIGIN Pomegranate Ale, and just in time for Passover too!
Shmaltz Brewing Co. owner Jeremy Cowan announced: “A renewal of our original HE’BREW Beer covenant, brewed once again after 10 years with the juice of over 10,000 luscious Pomegranates, ORIGIN is a complex, rich and balanced Imperial Amber Ale with a truly unique character. A slight reworking of our 10th Anniversary Genesis 10:10, ORIGIN amazingly enough remains the only nationally distributed Pomegranate Strong Ale in the country.”
“I am thrilled with this beer, and I hope you will be as well. “
ORIGIN is our fourth permanent year round offering, and with the expertise of master brewer Paul McErlean and the brewers at Mendocino Brewing East, I think the current HE’BREW line up can proudly stand with the best creations of the many spectacular craft brewers in the country.” Says Shmaltz Beer Co. owner. When will ORIGIN Pomegranate Ale be coming to a store near you must be wondering? 22 ounce bottles should be hitting shelves any day so sneak in a taste before the annual 8 day beer fast for Passover….or the perfect excuse for non Jewish Shmalzters to bum rush the HE’BREW shelves while the Jews hit the matzoh, gefilte fish and potato vodka. ORIGIN Pomegranate Ale is the only Pomegranate Strong Ale in the country according to Jeremy and at a whopping 8% alc too.
Jeremy announced “We will be having many many events, tastings, and celebrations across the country this year to hoist “L’Chaims” together and will keep you informed. The website will have a list of events. For now thank you so much for your collective support bringing HE’BREW to this season…and beyond! Enjoy your anti-oxidation while you enjoy your oxidation…simultaneously! To Life!!”
Hebrew Beer
Creation, 1996, C.E.: On the floor of a San Francisco Mission District loft, intimate friends squeeze luscious pomegranates by hand to brew the first 100 cases of the original HE’BREW Beer.
Evolution: The culmination of the first decade of Shmaltz Brewing and a core offering for our second, ORIGIN renews this sacred covenant, sacrificing over 10,000 pomegranates for each precious hand-crafted batch.
Revelation, on-going: In Jewish tradition, pomegranates symbolize righteousness, with seeds said to number 613, the total commandments in Torah. In Deut. 8:8, pomegranates, barley and wheat prove the bounty of the Land of Milk and Honey. The calyx atop the fruit inspired the original Jewish crown. One Persian hero of myth consumed a pomegranate and became invincible. Muhammad instructed: “Eat the pomegranate, for it purges the system of envy and hatred.” Newlywed Greeks eager for a family crush one under-heel for fertility. Buddha cured a child-devouring demoness of her evil habit by instructing her to eat a pomegranate.
Whether for knowledge or temptation, for virtue or valor, for art or for love, revel in the sumptuous pleasures of ORIGIN. To Life…L’Chaim!
* In the Greek myth of Persephone’s abduction by Hades, lord of the underworld, the pomegranate represents life, regeneration, marriage, perhaps the seasons… contradictory versions, way too convoluted for a beer flyer-googleit!
* The pomegranate gave its name to the Hand Grenade from its shape and size (and the resemblance of its seeds to a grenade’s fragments) * Although not native to Japan, the pomegranate is widely used for bonsai, because of its lovely flowers and for the unusual twisted bark that older specimens can attain. * St. John of the Cross made the pomegranate seeds the symbol of divine perfection.
* The Pueblo believed that those who witnessed the ingestion of the arils were blessed with powers of divination. * In China the pomegranate is widely represented in ceramic art symbolizing fertility and abundance. A picture of a ripe open pomegranate is a popular wedding present.
* In ancient Rome newlywed women wore headdresses made from pomegranate twigs, and its juice was consumed as a remedy for infertility.
* Among the Bedouins of the Middle East, after a wedding, a fine specimen of pomegranate is split open by the groom as he and his bride open the flap of their tent or enter the door of their house. Abundant seeds ensure that the couple who eat it will have many children.
* In Buddhism, along with the citrus and the peach, the pomegranate is one of the three blessed fruits, often represent the essence of favorable influences. * The heavenly paradise of the Koran describes four gardens with shade, springs, and fruit, including the pomegranate. Legend holds that each pomegranate contains one seed that has come down from paradise.
* Since the rind of the fruit is tough, but the juice sweet, the pomegranate came to symbolize the priest; severe on the outside, indulgent on the inside. * In Christian art, the pomegranate often found in paintings of the Virgin and Child symbolizes resurrection and life.
* The Song of Solomon compares the cheeks of a bride behind her veil to the two halves of a pomegranate.
* The Qu’ran mentions pomegranates three times – twice as examples of the good things God creates, once as a fruit found in the Garden of Paradise.
* In some parts of the world, it’s believed that Eve tempted Adam with a pomegranate.
* “Or from Browning some ‘Pomegranate’, which if cut deep down the middle / Shows a heart within blood-tinctured, of a veined humanity.” -Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Lady Geraldine’s Courtship
* Medieval representations of the pomegranate tree were associated with the end of a unicorn hunt. The captured unicorn appears to be bleeding from wounds that are pomegranate seeds dripping blood red juices on his milk white body. Wild and uncontrollable by nature, unicorns can be tamed only by virgins. Once tamed, the unicorn was chained to a pomegranate tree.
* Etymology: The genus name, Punica is after the Phoenicians, who spread its cultivation, partly for religious reasons. Its species name granatum derives from the Latin adjective granatus, meaning ‘grainy’. However, in classical Latin the species name was malum punicum or malum granatum, where “malum” is an apple. This has influenced the common name for pomegranate in many languages (e.g. German Granatapfel, seeded apple). Even “pomegranate” itself has this meaning; pomum is Latin for apple.
* In “The Persian War,” Herodotus writes of golden pomegranates adorning the spears of warriors in the Persian phalanx.
* The pomegranate was chosen as the logo for the Millennium Festival of Medicine from a shortlist that included DNA, the human body, and a heart beat.
* The British Medical Association and three royal colleges feature the pomegranate in their coats of arms. The Royal College of Physicians of London had adopted it in their coat of arms by the middle of the sixteenth century.
* The use of pomegranate rind and root bark as a treatment for tapeworm infestation (“Latas tineas ventris”) was recommended by several early Roman medical writers and is still listed as a treatment for tapeworms and diarrhea in a current encyclopedia of medicinal plants.
* Dioscorides describes some of them: “All sorts of pomegranates are of a pleasant taste and good for ye stomach…The juice of the kernels prest out, being sod and mixed with Honey, are good for the ulcers that are in ye mouth and in ye Genitals and ye paines of ye eares, and for the griefs in ye nostrils”.

Where does I come up with my ideas and where do I find the stories and content that we feature? The answer to them all is look for the mayhem and there you’ll find the Jew.
I learned that lesson in fact from Orthodox Rav Shmuel Spiro of the ChinaTown Shule in Chinatown in downtown Toronto. He often has individuals who work downtown and when their loved ones pass away they need a location to say Kaddish. Sometimes they do not have enough men for the minyan and require a tenth so where does R. Spiro goes to find Jews? Straight to the lineups outside of the Chinese food restaraunts and even sometimes in them while they are waiting. If that doesn’t pan out, he goes to Abby Roach’s legendary HotBox cafe just around the corner where plenty of Jewish stoners lounge, shmooze, eat, drink and get high, and there he scores the Jews for his minyan.
Take for instance the crazy, hedonistic world of heavy metal out of the multitude music genre’s, if you look hard enough you’ll find Jews on stage and off of the stage in management and production. On stage, you have Israeli born Gene Simmons of legendary supergroup KISS, Ian Scott of ANTHRAX, and Geddy Lee of RUSH are just a few Hebe’s who rock onstage.
While I have every intention of trying to acquire candid interviews with them, what I am really interested in is chronicling artists and bands who are on their way up the success ladder, and an amazing source for that is in fact our homeland, Israel.
In the last five years there has been a veritable big bang of Israeli metal, thrash, and punk bands and solo artists onto the Israeli music scene where there were none before. Once upon a time not too long ago, an Israeli metalhead and a mohawk bearing punk rocker were definately anomalies to see in Israel but for a variety of reasons, Metal and Punk music have since seriously manifested themselves there.
I have a excellent series of new articles on Jewish Metal Mayhem coming and the first feature is on a band called AMASEFFER www.amaseffer.com
These guys have something really interesting going on and the quality of their sample tracks are amazing. Amaseffer’s first CD will be the first in a trilogy of CDs and the basic concept behind their project is it’s an epic, cinematic scope sized project with huge philharmonic orchestrations, all wrapped in pounding drums and heavy guitars about the Biblical story of Exodus.
Jewish Mayhem contacted AMASEFFER the moment I net surfed their myspace profile to their website. It is apparent that these guys are putting tremendous amount of thought and their own money and resources behind their work and that they have something very special to offer.
JM: Shalom AMASEFFER
Erez: Shalom from Israel Joshua, I’m Erez Yohanan , founder and drummer of Amaseffer. Thank you for trusting in what we do and we hope we meet one day.
JM: Where are each of you from exactly?
Erez: I’m Erez yohanan and I’m from Tel-Aviv, Yuval Kramer is from Jerusalem , Hanan avramovich – Jerusalem ,
Andy kuntz – Germany
JM:What are you backgrounds?
Erez: We are all full time musicians and we are involved in some way or another in the Israeli metal scene.
JM: What inspired this project?
Erez: I wanted to write this concept for a long long time but i did not think i have the maturity as a person and as a musician . 3 years ago i thought it was the perfect time to start writing it and that’s what i did . I’m a strong believer and i knew that if i ever write a concept based on a bible story it would be this one , the Exodus story. The biggest event in the bible. The trilogy will cover the story from the slavery period in Egypt all the way to the death of moses and entrance to the promised land.
JM: How did you hook up with Andy Kuntz?
Erez: After we had a few songs in hand i contacted his manager and told him about the project, the concept behind it and that i want Andy to be the singer on it. A few days later Andy contacted me and i told him everything about Amaseffer and the concept of the trilogy. I sent him our music and he got really connected to it immediately. He is a very spiritual person, through his religion of course, so it was clear to him that he want to be a part of Amaseffer .
JM: What are your musical influences?
Erez: We don’t let music influence us , we love every music that touches our soul and make us complete. of course metal is the main thing for us but also classical music, all kind of oriental stuff and much more.
JM: Are you guys shomer mitzvot or shabbat?
Erez: We are all shome mitsvot and very strong with our religion. It is who we are and we keep that in our heart and soul every single minute in our life.
JM: Any plans on touring?
Erez: Yes but it will be only when the CD is out so it is a bit soon to talk about touring.
JM: Any upcoming shows?
Erez: Not at that moment .
JM: What would you change in Israel or with the Jewish people if you could?
Erez: I would not change a single thing , we are who we are and that’s what make the Jewish people so different and unique.
the name of the band , Amaseffer (“Am-Haseffer” in the holy bible) people of the book was chosen for that reason.
We are the chosen ones and we should stay like that by keeping our identity.
