YidLife Crisis Searches for Yiddish Culture (and Kishka) in Tel Aviv

We've been following the Canadian comedy duo of Jamie Elman and Eli Batalion as they travel the world in search of funny situtations involving Yiddish culture, language, and food.

Their web series, YidLife Crisis, was recently nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for best original digital media series. 

They have taken their act on the road, performing a live version of their show in Krakow, Tel Aviv, Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles and Birmingham, England. 

The pair has also received a prestigious grant from the Natan Fund and have created a series of five travelogues featuring their impressions of Tel Aviv. Last month we posted their funny Valentine’s Day episode guest staring Mayim Bialik.

There's a lot of Yiddish in some of the episodes and some of the English includes coarse language that we avoid in our family-friendly posts, so we pick the episodes that we share with you very carefully.

Today we're posting one of their Tel Aviv episodes, Canadians in Cabs Getting Kishkas. In it, they try to order from a menu in a Tel Aviv restaurant, where some of the selections are misspelled, as frequently happens in Israeli restaurants. 

Enjoy!
