Here's a funny Passover video that appeared last year but didn't come to our attention until now. It's one of a series of comedy caricatures in which Danielle Jacobs plays the role of Rebbetzin Rivka Leah Zelwig commenting on getting ready for Pesach, Purim, Chanukah, and other aspects of Jewish life.
In a high-pitched, grating voice, she shares her thoughts about the job of getting the house clean for Pesach, while using an electric drill and saw to remove kitchen components for cleaning. As the clip ends, she's rushing to help her daughter remove the toilet for cleaning. The video is chock full of yeshivish expressions and references. Enjoy!

I probably would like it IF I COULD UNDERSTAND HALF OF WHAT SHE'S SAYING.
ReplyDeleteShe's speaking Yeshivish, a dialect that we blogged about on January 7, 2010. Here's the link for your enjoyment.

This is hilarious. What a great spook of New York haredi Jewry. And in such good taste.
ReplyDeletei don't care which language sshe is speaking, i couldn't understand her. i could decipher about every 4th word.
ReplyDeleteI have no trouble understanding her - but there are a lot of phrases that are hebrew or yeshivish slang - This is hysterical! What an entertaining spoof
