Pennsylvania-born Matisyahu had twin conversions to Hasidic Judaism and reggae; check out the result. Matisyahu embarked on a spiritual quest that brought him back to Judaism's tradition of mystical singing. Throw in reggae, hip-hop and beatboxing skills and you may have the world's first Hasidic reggae star. Matisyahu now lives in Crown Heights, a member of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic community. Though he's considered an oddity, perhaps there's not such a huge distance between devout Rastafarianism and Judaism?
