It is?
It sounds yiddish.
Ah, hello!
It's so nice to meet you.
How are you?
Monty.
Monty, how are you?
Man:
Ladies and gentlemen,please welcome the lister boys,
Sammy and louie.
[ cheers and applause ]
Mazel tov!
[ applause ]
Okay, what kind of jew
is that?
A smelly one?
Hippy jew.
Bohemian parents.
Now a buddhist.
A buddhist jew?
How does that work?
Believes you should renounce
all material possessions
But still keep
the receipts.
Oof!
Look at that.
I'd like to offer her
some serious kosher sausage.
What kind of jew is that?
That is my ex-wife.
I'm sorry.
With her wanking boyfriend,
maurice gross.
Maurice gross?
Psychic investigator
from high barnet.
Julie.
Oh.
Denise.
Oh, lenny.
I'm so sorry to hear
about you and diane.
Yeah.
And now she's
with maurice gross.
[ laughs ]
who'd have guessed?
I suppose
he would.
Well, being
a psychic investigator.
It's a wisecrack.
Oh.
we're well known
For wisecracking,
us people.
Ladies, this is
my cousin solomon --
Solomon shimshileewitz.
Please, just call me "solly."
How do you do?
How do you do?
Hello.
Lovely event,
don't you think, solly?
Yes, it's very,
uh...Very geschmack.
I-I-it, uh -- actually,
it's very traipse, I'd say.
It's very jewish.
Mm, you're right.
It is very jewish.
Oh, now, solly, I'm sure
that lenny must have told you
That denise and I
are now co-chair...
Co-chair.
...Of the north london ladies
eretz yisrael guild.
Eretz?
Yisrael.
I know it.
So, we were wondering --
So, we wondered if you might
sign our latest petition.
I'd be delighted.
"we, the undersigned,
Believe that the state
of israel --"
"israel is unfairly demonized
by bbc, itv, channel 4,
And all other forms
of the u.K. News media --"
"despite being
a shining --"
"a shining example
of democracy and fairness,
Which simply wants
to live in --"
"in peace."
"in peace
with its neighbors."
Oh, thanks,
lenny.
If you wouldn't mind.
[ laughs ]
J-j-just here, is it?
Just there, please.
Thank you.
I have a twitch!
Aah!
Ow, ow! That --
That really hurt!
Are you all right?
Man:
Ladies and gentlemen,before we eat,
Rabbi finestein
will say grace.
[ singing in hebrew ]
[ mumbling ]
[ clears throat ]
[ rapping in hebrew ]
[ indistinct conversation ]
Be happy to do it.
Sorry to interrupt.
Yeah.
This is just too jewish for me.
Ladies and gentlemen --
[ chuckles ]
that's nice.
Today our blessed
bar mitzvah twins,
Sammy and louie,
become men.
[ applause ]
Yeah, yeah, it's -- it's good
to be a jewish man now.
Please don't come crying to me
in 30 years' time
When your prostate blows up
like an air bag
And your wife runs off
With a psychic investigator
from high barnet.
[ audience murmurs ]
What?
Speech.
Sorry, monty.
Anyway, boys,
seeing as your father here
Is to public speaking as...
Stephen hawking is
to windsurfing,
He has asked schmuggins here
to take on the bar mitzvah task
Of telling a classic
jewish funny story.
Sadly, though, I've become
A bit tired and emotional
this evening.
So, I --
and also very drunk.
So I've decided
to pass the baton,
To -- to -- to give the task
to my good friend
And classic
jewish storyteller.
Ladies and gentlemen,
solly shimshileewitz.
[ applause ]
Uh...Hello.
Dear lord.
How about the story
about rabbi akiba
And fischel, the --
the village idiot?
Yeah. How about that?
That's a good idea.
That's, uh...
So...
[ clears throat ]
...There was a tale of,
uh, rabbi...
Akiba.
...Akiba,
who lived in...Hotep.
And he always observed
his fedeyezyez flahot.
Uh...
Then, in the syn--
no, no, I know this one.
The -- the --
the shul.
Shul.
That's it, the shul.
Shul.
The shul.
In the shul came fischel,
the village idiot.
Well, what an idiot he was.
And he went up to the rabbi,
and he said,
"rabbi, rabbi!
My foreskin
has grown back."
Um, he did.
He said that.
No, he didn't.
He did, and the rabbi looked
at him and said, "you what?"
And fischel said,
"it's true.
What do I do?"
about his foreskin.
And...
It was that point --
Can you help me
with this one, please?
Yes, yes.
Finish it off.
Rabbi akiba says,
"moses said that when --
when --
"when the light
of the world is shining,
We must turn our faces
to the sky."
That's it, yeah.
"and as joshua said when
the light of the world is dim,
We must turn our faces
to the ground."
To the ground.
"but I say --"
rabbi akiba says...
Yeah, what did he say?
Well, rabbi akiba says...
Uh, rabbi akiba
looked at fischel.
And he says...
[ speaking yiddish ]
[ laughing ]
[ laughter ]
What was that?
Don't ask me.
[ up-tempo music plays ]
[ brakes squeal ]
Jesus.
See?
Soon as I'm in a cab...
Sober as a church.
That was good tonight.
Didn't expect it.
Thanks, lenny.
Hey, mahmud.
This jew thing -- what --
what's so important?
Izzy shimshileewitz.
What, he's still alive?
Yeah, well, I think so.
I don't know.
I-I can't be sure.
They won't let me see him.
What do you mean?
Who? They who?
The rabbi.
The rabbi at the care home.
He said I've got to get
a bit more jewy.
Did he?
Yeah.
When are you
gonna see him next?
Soon as possible.
Tomorrow.
You know what? I'm gonna take
you. I'm gonna go with you.
Yeah?
Yeah, I'm not gonna let
your big family emotional moment
Get held back
by some a**hole fruma.
I think --
you know, that's good.
That's really good
if you come.
I'm gonna go.
But you will be tactful,
though, will you?
Yeah.
Because, you know,
this is a big thing for me.
My dad -- you know,
my adopted one --
When he died...
It really cut me up.
You know, and now I've got
this other dad here,
And it's just too much.
Look, finding out you're jewish
doesn't mean
That suddenly every moment's
a therapeutic opportunity.
Salaam alaykum, mahmud.
Alaykum a salaam,
lenny.
Hey.
Hey.
Good night, rash.
Good night.
Uh, dad...
That was a bit weird today,
Wasn't it,
with the rally?
Weird, yeah.
Yeah, it was.
I was just --
I was just trying, you know,
To show support for them,
the big stepfather guy.
Yeah, but I think,
when he comes to see us,
You could, uh...
Turn it down a touch, maybe.
Just a touch.
[ laughter ]
Okay. All right.
Relax.
Good night.
Good night.
Saamiya:
He isn't 60 until June.
Saamiya.
Do you remember
when we got married?
And you promised to love me
and honor me
With faith and obedience
and gentleness?
Yes, of course.
Who is it?! Huh?!
Ow!
That hurts!
Is it someone from work?!
Work? What are you
talking about? They're all men.
That pram-faced tart
from tesco's.
Blimey,
you noticed that?
But I-I was
just looking.
Hmm.
Anyway, you know,
By the qur'an, I could have
four wives anyway.
Oh, that's why you've been
running to the mosque
All of this time,
is it, huh?!
Ow! Stop it!
You know, I knew I should have
