YidLife Crisis in Tel Aviv: A Visit to Beit Hatfutsot, Museum of the Jewish People
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 travelogues featuring their impressions of Tel Aviv. We previously posted their funny Valentine’s Day episode guest staring Mayim Bialik and two of their Tel Aviv episodes, Canadians in Cabs Getting Kishkas, and Searching for Yiddish Speakers and Second Hand Items in Old Jaffa
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 another one of their Tel Aviv episodes . In it, they visit Beit Hatfutsot, Tel Aviv's Museum of the Jewish People.
Enjoy!
