Comedy Showcase: Israeli Comic Yisrael Campbell Brings His Comedy to California
We've been fans of Israeli Chasidic comedian Yisrael Campbell ever since we posted the trailer of his Circumcise Me show back in 2009.
Now Yisrael (formerly Christopher) tells the story of his conversion from Catholicism to Judaism in Israel and anywhere else that he is booked for a comedy event.
A few years ago Campbell appeared at a gala event in Manhattan Beach, California to honor Rabbi Mark Hyman on his retirement from Congregation Tikvat Jacob Beth Torah and Yisrael''s presentation that night found its way to YouTube.
It's a story that he tells often but it's funny every time we hear it.
Enjoy!
