New Teen Pop Culture Magazine Debuts for Hanukkah
BOSTON, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- With the announcement today of the nominations for the 47th Annual GRAMMY® Awards, a new national teen magazine debuts for Hanukkah calling on the Recording Academy to end its perceived discrimination against Jewish music artists and create a Jewish Music Grammy.
Avril Lavigne's guitarist Evan Taubenfeld is the cover boy for a new pop culture print magazine for Jewish teens that is an outgrowth of the popular JVibe.com webzine. Riffing about his Bar Mitzvah and life on the road with his friend Avril, the exclusive Tauberfeld interview appears along with the JVibe Magazine challenge and petition to the Recording Academy to finally establish a Jewish music category along with the existing half dozen Christian Music Grammy Awards.
"It took 15 years for the newly-created Hawaiian Music Award to be established," observes JVibe publisher Yossi Abramowitz. "There will be a Jewish Grammy in 15 months." Adds JVibe senior editor Josh Eagle: "Jewish hip-hop and rock has hit a new high. It is going to be uncomfortable to try to justify to legions of Jewish teens and others why a new Grammy would not be established."
