Haredi Comedy: Disturbing Daveners

Did you know that there is Jewish humor even in the solemn study halls in Haredi yeshivot? Yes, even the most serious students find room for fun, as we can see in this funny short called Disturbing Daveners.

Davening, or prayer, is supposed to be an intense encounter with God, but there are times when the fervor can overwhelm a person to the point where he loses touch with the world and the people around him.

The disturbing daveners include the Head Banger, Shtender Stealer, and Talis Eye Gouger.

This short film is a product of the Yeshiva of Waterbury in Connecticut, which has a group of amateur filmmakers who bring humor into their lives and share it on YouTube.

Enjoy!
