Chasidic Comedian Mendy Pellin is Still Controlled by His iPhone, But Not by Siri

Mendy Pellin is our favorite Chasidic comedian. We've been running his shtick for ten years, and he keeps inventing new routines, from his Mendy Report on Chabad TV to the comedy midrash he created on the Jewbellish site that he co-founded.

Four years ago, Pellin posted a YouTube video explaining why he replaced his iPhone featuring Siri with a kosher phone in which his questions were answered by Avraham Fried, the Chasidic singer.

The answers were hilarious, guiding Pellin toward appropriate activities and away from anything remotely prohibited by Jewish law. The video also was used as a promotion for an event featuring Pellin and Fried.

Now Pellin has posted a follow-up video in which he asks more questions such as "What are the show times for West Side Story?" and gets answers like "I found a mincha on the West Side at 12:05 pm and 12:45 pm." 

We're posting both videos below. Enjoy!
