Comedy Showcase: Molly Livingstone Becomes "Mooly Levenson" in Israeli Translation

What happens when an American transplants herself to Israel and has to deal with unfamiliar bureaucracies?  

A post office isn't only a post office, national insurance bureaucrats can test your patience, and renderings of English names into Hebrew can create unpredictable and funny results.

Last week Molly Livingstone, co-founder of the comedy troupe HaHafuch, made her standup comedy debut on stage in Jerusalem.

Luckily for us, the performance was taped before a very responsive audience, who could relate well to her experiences and her explanation of how she became Mooly Levenson and her son Oz became Og.

Short glossary:
Bituach Leumi = National Insurance
Misrad Hapnim = Interior Ministry 

Enjoy!
