Rosh Hashana Video Countdown: Shana Tova From Latma


We're into September, and Rosh Hashana is only 12 days away. At Jewish Humor Central, that means that we're going to be focusing on music videos with High Holiday themes. Don't expect a Rosh Hashana video every day -- we'll still post jokes and funny happenings -- but we'll be posting some of the best new videos as they come in. And they are coming, in greater numbers than before.

We'll kick off the countdown with a music video we just found that the crew of Latma (Israel's version of Saturday Night Live) made for Rosh Hashana two years ago, after we started the blog. Let's join Caroline Glick and the team as they put new words to the Black Eyed Peas hit, I Gotta Feeling, and approach the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe) with a positive attitude of high hopes.

Enjoy!

  1. Cute. But Latma is not Israel's SNL. "Eretz Nehederet" is the closest thing to SNL in Israel. Unlike the web-driven Latma, Eretz Nehederet is actually broadcast and remains immensely popular among Israelis. This is the show responsible for the hysterical, potty mouthed "Angry Birds Peace Conference" sketch, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMltvlqEM54 .
    Latma is... an initiative from political Think Tank called the Center for Security Policy. So Latma can be funny, but often their material comes out as angry or bitter.
