osh Dolgin says his father
didn't allow for much inno-
vation at the seder table, rul-
ing it with an iron fist. But when Josh
was 10 years old, his older brother
decided to compile his own Haggadah.
Josh illustrated it, their father wel-
comed it, and Passover would never
be the same.
Dolgin, now 29 and known in the
music biz as Socalled, creates his own
order by melding Jewish tradition,
audio snippets — loops and samples
— from Jewish recordings, and the
influence and musical contributions
of the diverse hip-hop milieu in which
he thrives.

His album, The So Called Seder: A
Hip Hop Haggadah (JDub Records;
$11.99), looks to do for other young-
ish Jews what his brother's Haggadah
did for the Dolgin family seder.
With a March 27, 2006, U.S. release

The Jewish News reached Dolgin by
phone in early March at his home in
Montreal, the day before he left for a
week of performances in France.
"The youngest person at the seder
asks the questions, and hip-hop is the
youngest person at the table," he said,
referring to the relative newness of the
musical form. "The Four Questions is
what started me on the hip-hop-ifica-
tion of [the seder]," he explained.
"I found this loop — this great
little choir doing Mah Nishtanah
— and then started finding old, classy
Passover records, and it got me started
on the project!"
Scouring and discovering record
albums of Yiddish theater, Jewish
choirs and cantors and old education-
al recordings, Dolgin worked to take
the old story of Passover and make it
new again.

Bucking Tradition
"They say in the seder you are sup-
posed to feet like we ourselves are
coming out of slavery, right?" Dolgin
asked, answering his own question. "It
