Greetings!
What's funny about anti-Semitism? Well, nothing.
What is funny is this delightful 8-minute Yiddish language video (subtitled for us il-yiderates) mocking Jew hatred.
Made a couple of years ago by Canadian entertainers Jamie Elman & Eli Batalion, it is even more relevant today. Part of their popular web series entitled “YidLife Crisis,” it appeared in the Canadian Jewish News when it was first launched.
According to Elman, “we felt that we couldn’t NOT address the rising anti-Semitism we've seen over the last few years online and in the real world. Our alter egos, Chamie and Leizer, debating adversaries and BFFs, would have to deal with this and examine extremism, real and perceived, coming from all sides just as we are.”
Take a look and let me know what you think.
