THE JEWISH NEWS

Drums Beat
Deadheads Rock

GARTH WOLKOFF.

Special to The Jewish News

A

Chasidic rabbi blows
a loud tekiah gadola
and passes his shofar
to a group of wide-eyed, tie-
dyed followers of the
Grateful Dead rock group.
As the ram's horn
sputters, Chasidim — wear-
ing T-shirts lettered with
"Grateful Yid" in English
and "the dead will rise" in
Hebrew — distribute apples
to the Bay Area musical in-
stitution's mostly non-
Jewish devotees.
A handful of stringy-
haired, young Jewish men,
some with only a vague no-
tion of what the leather
boxes and straps are, bind
tefillin to their foreheads
and palms with a little ex-
pert help. from the Chabad
rabbi.
Perhaps only at a concert
of the group known in shor-
thand as "The Dead" could
the Lubavitcher brand of
Judaism and a hippie brand
of spirituality commingle as
smoothly.
So fluidly do the two sub-
cultures seem to blend, in
fact, that most of the concer-
tgoers streaming into Moun-
tain View's Shoreline Am-
phitheater don't miss a beat
as they pass the Lubavitchers
doling out Rosh Hashanah
greetings and 8,000 apples
and honey, the traditional
new year's symbol of sweet-
ness.
While Chabad critics label
such an event as another
public relations gimmick by
an organization they claim
is cult-like, the group's
stated intent is to spread the
word of God and Orthodoxy
— and the word of its rebbe-
leader, Brooklyn-based
Menachem Schneerson.
Deadheads, like Chabad,
are known for single-
mindedness —for
pilgrimages across the coun-
try, for following the band
for months on end, for trying
to scrape by peddling tie-
dyed T- shirts, drugs, and
cheap and colorful clothing
made in Central America.
The Grateful Dead, around
since the late 1960s, is
known for never-ending
formless songs as much as
for its graying and icono-
clastic leader, Jerry Garcia.
The group tours constantly,
and its concerts are
legendary as Dionysian
