El Al Haredi Seating Incident Inspires Parody In-Flight Safety Video

After a wave of news reports about a group of Haredi El Al passengers refusing to sit next to women on a flight from New York to Israel, Joel and Stephen Levinson, comedy writers and video producers from Dayton, Ohio saw an opportunity. 

Writing in Tablet, the on-line Jewish magazine, they created and shared a parody of the in-flight safety video that airlines use to make passengers aware of the airline's safety features and demonstrate their use.

Unlike actual videos shown pre-flight, this one advises "Should you discover that you are seated next to a woman, release your seat belt and proceed to any of the male congregation areas."

Enjoy!
