YidLife Crisis

YidLife Crisis

Jamie Elman & Eli Batalion are entertainers (and closeted Jewish educators) from Montreal with combined credits spanning 20 years of theater, music, television and film - from starring in Mad Men, House MD and Curb Your Enthusiasm to writing, directing and producing short and feature films appearing at the Sundance, Toronto, Berlin and SXSW film festivals.
Their unique friendship spawned an irreverent tribute to the Yiddish language, culture and comedic tradition they were reared on. Calling it “YidLife Crisis,” they hatched the world’s first Yiddish sitcom, exploring religious and cultural identity in a decidedly modern multicultural world. Its popularity has led to multiple video and written projects, international press, multiple awards and over 3 million online views. Their ‘comedy peacekeeping’ keeps them working with celebrities and academics alike as they tour their live shtick around the globe.

    As an American who lived six years in Zurich, I understand just about all the French and can piece together about 80% of the Yiddish. Great stuff. I watched this when it first came out and swing by for a rerun every year or so.

    My favorite line is at the end, when Leizer says “what would Freud say, huh?” Christina says “who?” And then Leizer says in Yiddish “you really like them JUNG, Huh?”

    The punchline is an old Jewish joke! I laugh because I read it in a Jewish Jokes book by Leo Rosten. I think. I probably was 10 years old and I chuckled by the Chinese restaurant owner explained to the Yiddish man. I’m 55 years old. .

That's right, have dinner with my Jewish friends at Canton Dragon! Yasher koach, guys; love all your work. (well, most of it, anyway.....)

    This is AWFUL and profoundly NOT FUNNY. It also borders on the anti-semitic. Truly. Speaking in yiddish can't disguise the contempt that the makers of this video have for Torah Judaism. Anyone here who comments how much he likes this probably knows very little about true Judaism.

    Ani ohev haverim Hebrewim v Shebrewim ehudim sheli, but I ain't a supporter of Hannuka, this holiday celebrates Jewish separation/ghettoization/separatism/anti-goyism. The Maccabees were Jewish Taliban. I ain't even Christian but I like Christmas/Yuletide. Some Christians are annoying during Christmas with "Jesus is the reason for the Season" nonsense, but Judaic anti-social collective introversion is also quite annoying. Weewee chopping must stop, the Jews have suffered enough, stop the cockacaust.
