Rosh Hashanah is a time for new beginnings. So, as the holiday approaches, that probably means we should all take this opportunity to officially retire Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and find a new song to obsess over. But first, before we do that, let’s take a moment to appreciate the latest version of the song to surface on the Internet: a delightful tribute to the Jewish new year, which begins this Wednesday evening.

Seriously, this has everything you could ever want: introspective lyrics, epic beards, plenty of shofar, breakdancing, and choreography so intense that kippahs are literally flying off heads. Kippahs are flying off heads!

As well as “What Makes Rosh Hashanah Beautiful,” a parody of “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction:
