side by side on a large stage. 1,500 guests looked on as the brides and
grooms took their vows in one of the largest joint marriage ceremonies to
ever take place in Israel.</span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As Jennifer Hassan-Smith reported for i24 News,</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span></p><p data-is="component-paragraph"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span></p><blockquote><p data-is="component-paragraph"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The unique ceremony was
organized by the Savyon Chabad Community as part of an initiative called
"Marrying the Warrior." They are helping couples like these — whose
previous wedding plans were derailed by the war — finally celebrate
their unions. </span></span></p><p data-is="component-paragraph"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In all of
these couples, either the groom or bride have been serving in the IDF
reserves, and have had to reschedule their dream day several times
before the organizers stepped in with the special offer. </span></span></p><p data-is="component-paragraph"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Such
is the case of Moshe and his bride, who were supposed to get married on
October 12. While a mass ceremony is the opposite of their initial
plans for an intimate wedding, they were grateful for the chance to
celebrate their coming together as a family, and participate in a larger
display of joy and solidarity amid the war.</span></span></p></blockquote><p><span><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><span><span><span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="left: 114.9px; top: 287.77px; transform: scaleX(0.999948);"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="color: red;"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><u>A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:</u>

Mszana Dolna lies 50 kilometers south of Kraków. The town is
located in a deep valley, surrounded by several ranges, including the
Gorce Mountains featuring Gorce National Park.</span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Jewish community in Mszana Dolna is mentioned in the 1891 official
record of Jewish congregations. However, Jews must have started living
there much earlier. The first Jews to settle down in Mszana Dolna were innkeepers, which is confirmed by 18<sup>th</sup> century data. Inns were leased to those Jews by the local nobility. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">January 17 is the Day of Judaism in Poland.

religion and culture and elements of the celebration of Shabbat.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="http://sztetlmszanadolna.com">sztetlmszanadolna.com</a> is a website dedicated to saving the memory of
the Jews of Mszana Dolna and building kind relations with the
descendants of the few among them who survived the Shoah. Its organizers take care
of the sites of memory and martyrdom of the Jews of Mszana Dolna,
organize anniversaries of the Shoah in the town, as well as Remembrance
Days and Remembrance Walks. Together with the town’s youth they plant
crocuses at the mass murder sites to commemorate the youngest victims.
Every week they light the Shabbat candles and bake challah and they also light
the menorah during Chanukah. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In this video, members of the community sing the traditional version of Lecha Dodi to welcome Shabbat.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><span><span><span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="left: 114.9px; top: 287.77px; transform: scaleX(0.999948);"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="color: red;"><span><u>A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:</u>

Camera
was an American hidden camera/practical joke reality television series
created and produced by Allen Funt, which initially began on radio as
The Candid Microphone on June 28, 1947. </span></span></span><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>After a series of theatrical
film shorts, also titled Candid Microphone,
Funt's concept came to television on August 10, 1948, and continued
into the 1970s. </span><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>
</span><span>The show involved concealing cameras filming ordinary people being
confronted with unusual situations, sometimes involving trick props,
such as a desk with drawers that pop open when one is closed or a car
with a hidden extra gas tank. When the joke was revealed, victims would
be told the show's catchphrase, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera."</span></span></span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Peter
Funt joined the show professionally in 1987 when he became a co-host
with

Yiddish-American cinema and the Borscht Belt. Billed as a
“Yiddish-American Musical Revue,” it was one of the very last
Yiddish-language films to premiere on Broadway. Its success demonstrated
that by 1950 the center of Jewish-American entertainment had moved from
New York City to the Catskill resorts of upstate New York . </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">With
its performers, emcee, and audience often filmed separately and
awkwardly intercut, <i>Catskill Honeymoon</i> has the airless feel of
“canned vaudeville,” as critic J. Hoberman put it. Nevertheless, it
became one of the longest-running Yiddish films.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Up to the late 1970s,
it was still a favorite in elderly and rehabilitation homes, having
outlasted the Yiddish theatre scene and Young’s Gap Hotel, which closed
in 1967. Increased social mobility and assimilation doomed the Catskills
resorts, but not before they introduced performers such as Danny Kaye,
Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, and Jerry Lewis. <i>Catskill Honeymoon</i>
preserves the performances of a grab-bag of entertainers from this
tradition, allowing viewers to enjoy a night in the mountains.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Here is a classic sketch from the film set in a Catskills lunchroom in which the three actors, Max Bozyk, Henrietta Jacobson, and Julius Adler, standing on principle, gradually throw all their possessions out the window.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The black and white movie clip is in Yiddish with English subtitles.

confronted with unusual situations, sometimes involving trick props,
such as a desk with drawers that pop open when one is closed or a car
with a hidden extra gas tank. When the joke was revealed, victims would
be told the show's catchphrase, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera."</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Peter
Funt joined the show professionally in 1987 when he became a co-host
with
his father. During this time the show was being broadcast on the CBS
television network. In 1993, Allen Funt had a serious stroke, from which
he never fully recovered. This required Peter to host the show
full-time. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The
show went through a few revivals. During his time on the show Peter was
a producer, host and acted on the show. He also produced and hosted
over 200 episodes. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">This

got their start as comedians in Israel catering exclusively to
Hebrew-speaking audiences. As the two became more and more well-known to
Hebrew speakers throughout Israel, they noticed a huge demographic in
the country that was missing out on the laughs. <br /><br />Sponder and
Hason took the risk of crafting and re-writing their material from
Hebrew to English (and from Israeli humor to American humor), all the
while unsure whether or not they would even get a laugh out of an
English speaking crowd. Their hard work and dedication to broadening the
audience of one of Israel’s most unique cultural elements has launched
the growing scene of Israeli Stand-up in English.</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>Sponder, Hason, and some of their friends carry on each Monday in Tel Aviv with their standup comedy show, Funny Monday.

self-deprecating humor into a 50-year career as a standup comedian and actor,
died last Wednesday. He was 76.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">As Andrew Silow-Carroll wrote for the <a href="https://www.jta.org/2024/02/28/obituaries/comedian-richard-lewis-dark-prince-of-jewish-neurosis-dies-at-76">Jewish Telegraphic Agency</a>,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although he considered himself
retired as a standup, he appeared again as a regular in the current
season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” playing a version of himself in the
HBO show created by and starring his childhood friend Larry David. </span></span>
</p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Richard and I were born three days
apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he’s been like a
brother to me,” David said in a statement released by HBO. “He had that
rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But
today he made me sob and for that I’ll never forgive him.”</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lewis’ sensibility, in clubs and on
screen, could be as dark as the funereal suits he often wore. In a
signature joke, he spoke about an uncle who was so depressing that he
would sit at home listening to the soundtrack of “The Pawnbroker,” the
grim 1964 film about a Holocaust survivor. </span></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In this video, Curb Your Enthusiasm creator and star Larry David pays tribute to his childhood campmate and long-time friend. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span class="tlid-translation translation" lang="en"><span title=""><u><span lang="EN" style="color: red;"><span id="result_box"><span title="На данный момент Александр создал новый коллектив, вобравший в себя таинственные ритмы фолка и народные мелодии Земли Обетованной, а так же неоклейзмерский драйв фаршированный западом и востоком, кошерным рокенролом и клейзмером, городской романтикой и лирическим звучанием."><span id="result_box"><span title="На данный момент Александр создал новый коллектив, вобравший в себя таинственные ритмы фолка и народные мелодии Земли Обетованной, а так же неоклейзмерский драйв фаршированный западом и востоком, кошерным рокенролом и клейзмером, городской романтикой и лирическим звучанием."><span id="result_box">A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:</span></span></span></span></span></span></u><span lang="EN" style="color: red;"> THE VIDEO MAY NOT BE VIEWABLE DIRECTLY FROM THE

Camera
was an American hidden camera/practical joke reality television series
created and produced by Allen Funt, which initially began on radio as
The Candid Microphone on June 28, 1947. </span></span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>After a series of theatrical
film shorts, also titled Candid Microphone,
Funt's concept came to television on August 10, 1948, and continued
into the 1970s. </span><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>
</span><span>The show involved concealing cameras filming ordinary people being
confronted with unusual situations, sometimes involving trick props,
such as a desk with drawers that pop open when one is closed or a car
with a hidden extra gas tank. When the joke was revealed, victims would
be told the show's catchphrase, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera."</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Peter
Funt joined the show professionally in 1987 when he became a co-host
with
his father. During this time the show was being broadcast on the CBS
television network. In 1993, Allen Funt had a serious stroke, from which
he never fully recovered. This required Peter to host the show
full-time. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;">The
show went through a few revivals. During his time on the show Peter was
a producer, host and acted on the show. He also produced and hosted
over 200 episodes. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;">In
this classic episode people responding to an ad for a baby sitter for a 3-year-old girl are surprised that the 3-year old Gretchen is not a child, but a prize winning orchid.<br /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Enjoy!<br /></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span class="tlid-translation"><span title=""><u><span lang="EN" style="color: red;"><span title="">A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:</span></span></u></span><span class="tlid-translation"><span lang="EN" style="color: red;"> THE VIDEO MAY NOT BE VIEWABLE DIRECTLY

short informal video clips called <i>Yiddish Word of the Day</i>.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia", serif; font-size: medium;">The series,
written and narrated by <i>Forverts</i> editor Rukhl Schaechter, aims to give
non-Yiddish speakers an introduction to familiar Yiddish words and phrases and
how they might be used in everyday situations. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Georgia", serif; font-size: medium;"><br />
Schaechter, who was appointed the new editor of the <i>Forverts</i> in 2016, is
the first woman to helm the paper in its 119-year history, its first
editor to have been born in the United States, and likely its first editor
who is<i> shomeret Shabbat.</i></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Today

Monday and time for another Joke to Start the Week. Today we're sharing a
joke by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak (YY) Jacobson, one of America's premier
Jewish scholars in Torah and Jewish mysticism.</span></span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Rabbi Jacobson, an American Chabad rabbi from Monsey, New York, is one of the most sought after
speakers in the Jewish world today, lecturing to Jewish and non-Jewish
audiences on six continents and in forty states, and serving as teacher
and mentor to thousands across the globe. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">He is considered to be one of
the most successful, passionate and mesmerizing communicators of Judaism
today, culling his ideas from the entire spectrum of Jewish thought and
making them relevant to contemporary audiences. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">He </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">served as editor-in-chief of the <i>Algemeiner Journal</i>, and as a <i><span title="Hebrew-language romanization"><i lang="he-Latn">choizer</i></span></i> (transcriber) for Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span>Korzen began her career as an actress-writer in New York's
Off-Broadway scene. She has also worked in films (Tootsie, Stardust
Memories, etc.). In Los Angeles, Annie had a recurring role on Seinfeld,
playing Doris Klompus in the Florida condo. She also has been on E.R.,
Judging Amy, Oliver Beene and many other TV shows.</span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span>Annie created two solo shows that combine comedy, original music,
and provocative issues. One of them is called <i>Yenta Unplugged</i>, a
sophisticated 90-minute celebration of womanhood, from the Bronx to
Beverly Hills.</span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br />She has appeared as a storyteller with <i><a href="https://youtu.be/iSW1-fpK_Rw?si=R5o9JYZIbR6LBbsC">The Moth Mainstage</a></i> in L. A.,
Berkeley, and Boston, and has been a regular participant at spoken word venues in Los Angeles and New York.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Now Annie has published a new book, <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Book-Annie-Chutzpah-Accidental-Influencer-ebook/dp/B0CGJF9GXZ">The Book of Annie</a></i>, which includes funny stories, anecdotes, and random observations from her life in New York and Los Angeles.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>“Understated” and “tasteful” could never be applied to Annie, and
that’s just fine with her. A colorful actress with a decades-long career
in TV, film, and theater—including a recurring role on Seinfeld and a
center-stage spot touring with The Moth—Annie offers her trademark
unabashed takes on both everyday and typically taboo topics. Whether
she’s sharing her thoughts on the miracle of childbirth (“It’s a miracle
that anyone who’s been through it is willing to do it again”), religion
(“William Shakespeare was not Jewish; no Jew could write a play called </span><span class="a-text-italic">All’s Well That Ends Well</span><span>”), motherhood, or any other topic, Annie will have you laughing out loud.<br /><br />Underlying
the humor are poignant observations that feel particularly relevant
today: the importance of kindness and consideration, how we’re all more
alike than different, and the freedom to be found in self-acceptance.
You’ll put down this book feeling not just lighter but inspired by
Annie’s wisdom and insight, gathered over eight decades.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>Recently, Annie sat down with Deborah Vankin of the LA Times at a book launch and signing event at a Los Angeles bookstore. Here is a video clip from the event.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>Enjoy!</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><span style="left: 114.9px; top: 287.77px; transform: scaleX(0.999948);"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="color: red;"><u>A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:</u>

Camera
was an American hidden camera/practical joke reality television series
created and produced by Allen Funt, which initially began on radio as
The Candid Microphone on June 28, 1947. </span></span></span><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>After a series of theatrical
film shorts, also titled Candid Microphone,
Funt's concept came to television on August 10, 1948, and continued
into the 1970s. </span><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>
</span><span>The show involved concealing cameras filming ordinary people being
confronted with unusual situations, sometimes involving trick props,
such as a desk with drawers that pop open when one is closed or a car
with a hidden extra gas tank. When the joke was revealed, victims would
be told the show's catchphrase, "Smile, you're on Candid Camera."</span></span></span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Peter
Funt joined the show professionally in 1987 when he became a co-host
with
his father. During this time the show was being broadcast on the CBS
television network. In 1993, Allen Funt had a serious stroke, from which
he never fully recovered. This required Peter to host the show
full-time. <i></i></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The
show went through a few revivals. During his time on the show Peter was
a producer, host and acted on the show. He also produced and hosted
over 200 episodes. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In
this classic episode set in a restaurant in Branson, Missouri that has a trick table. It's on a hydraulic lift that raises the table ever so slightly during the course of a meal until it's ten inches higher at the end of the meal. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Enjoy!<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span class="tlid-translation"><span title=""><u><span lang="EN" style="color: red;"><span title="">A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:</span></span></u></span><span class="tlid-translation"><span lang="EN" style="color: red;"> THE VIDEO MAY NOT BE VIEWABLE DIRECTLY

The rhapsody is one of Gershwin's most recognizable creations and a key composition that defined the Jazz Age.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Gershwin's piece inaugurated a new era in America's musical history, established his reputation as an eminent composer and became one of the most popular of all concert works. In the <i>American Heritage</i> magazine, Frederic D. Schwarz posits that the famous opening clarinet glissando has become as instantly recognizable to concert audiences as the opening of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Gershwin was of Jewish ancestry. His grandfather, Jakov Gershowitz, was born in Odessa, Russian Empire (now Ukraine), and had served for 25 years as a mechanic for the Imperial Russian Army to earn the right of free travel and residence as a Jew, finally retiring near Saint Petersburg. His teenage son Moishe, George's father, worked as a leather cutter for women's shoes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The 100th anniversary of Rhapsody in Blue is being celebrated worldwide. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The story of how and why George Gershwin wrote it in just a month is one of the legends of American music and is told by Andy Hollandbeck in the February 11th issue of <a href="https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2024/02/a-century-of-rhapsody-in-blue/">The Saturday Evening Post</a>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We're joining the celebration by sharing a short excerpt from a concert by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic in Frankfurt in 1976.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Enjoy!</span></span></p><p><span><span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><span style="left: 114.9px; top: 287.77px; transform: scaleX(0.999948);"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u>A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:</u>
