Passover Videos: "Leavened," a Parody of Irving Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek"


Yesterday we took a day off from Passover videos to bring you the traditional Joke to Start the Week. But it's still Pesach for the rest of the week and leavened foods are still off-limits.

So now we're back to the videos that have been building up in our queue. Today's entry is a particularly well written and well performed parody on Irving Berlin's Cheek to Cheek.

It's written by lyricist Richard Eisenberg and performed by Adam B. Hammer, a TV and film actor who you may have seen in The Cobbler and The Normal Heart.

(BLOOPER ALERT: If you look carefully, you'll see that the box of Streit's Lightly Salted Matzos used in the video is in fact leavened and marked "NOT FOR PASSOVER USE" in the upper left corner.)

Enjoy!

(A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:  THE VIDEO MAY NOT BE VIEWABLE DIRECTLY FROM THE EMAIL THAT YOU GET EACH DAY ON SOME COMPUTERS AND TABLETS.  YOU MUST CLICK ON THE TITLE AT THE TOP OF THE EMAIL TO REACH THE JEWISH HUMOR CENTRAL WEBSITE, FROM WHICH YOU CLICK ON THE PLAY BUTTON IN THE VIDEO IMAGE TO START THE VIDEO.)
