That is just too good. You can tell he had a yeshiva education. 😂😂🤣

A wonderful illustration for why Jews make such great lawyers.

I laughed out loud. It's so true. Elon is knowledgeable and hysterical. Thank you for helping us to lighten up and not take ourselves so seriously.

This is so accurate it hurts

I am a Jew but I appreciate and laugh at these things

So painfully accurate, I love it. Reminds me of Shabbat elevators.

it's absolutely spot on.

For a Second.. I forgot this is hypothetical. It just made so much sense. I remember Mishna and Gmara classes as a kid. This would fit right in.

Sooo funny but so accurate and realistic, sounds like any other argument/ discussion in Talmud basically about everything, from what’s the right order of morning routine to how to make tea on shabat

Thank you Elon for this amazing video. Happy Chanukah to you too.

Every moment is masterful

you only get this if your jewish

About 1:55: "As long as both feet aren't in the house..." Sounds like football. Both feet weren't in bounds, so the pass was incomplete. :)

This is so so good. Kol hakavod!

This is brilliant and perfectly captures our way of doing things. It's a shame the audience reaction isn’t better captured.

omg...this is beyond hilarious...and he really knows his stuff! the bit about all the fallen trees killed me laughing. i can listen to it few times a year and still laugh

This was sent to me by a (dati) friend in Israel. And it convinced me not to get a tree. Too much trouble.....

OMGoodness ... the man speaks truth. LOL

Everyone in my daf yomi group laughed out loud!

OY VEY ...... RIGHT ON POINT .... ABOUT US JEWISH PEOPLE AND OUR 'RULES' & 'REGULATIONS' ..... HYSTERICALLY FUNNY !

Wonderful! Rabbi Dan brought this to our Talmud study class today. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. We then went to our studies about whether you can shave during the intermediate days of a festival, and yada, yada , yada.

This resurfaces every year in our family whatsapp groups and I'm so glad it does.

Too funny.....I like the part about the light bulbs! :-)

Brilliant !!!

This made my night 😂

Briliant

So fantastic! So clever. So hilarious!

Can you turn on community contributions to the autocaption? If so, I can correct captioning so that the Yiddish/Hebrew is correct and all can enjoy!

Very cute, but I like to add, that if Jews had a Christmas Tree, and all the work an decoration, the holiday would take much longer, Jews love Holidays.Another on is how about the insects in the tre, mother might go to our Kosher food (like the lettuce) so we will need to bring the משגיח כשרות.Another is that every tree needs to have a patch of COR (kosher) on it, as on Vegis and fruit.Only than to say the bracha Shahechianu (שהחיינו)Feu....it is so much work! It is not worth it for 1 day, only........

You are fabulous!

How can you say an Etz Chayim Hee if the tree is dead or artificial?

A modern day Jackie Mason.

awesome for our Tribe... ;)

Hilarious!

In the movie, Christmas Vacation, they schlepped all the way to outer eckveldt to chop down a tree and schlepped it back home

I have never and will never have a tree at Christmas. Because, I’m Jewish.

i laughed my ass out

Its the Life of Brian condensed

the sad part is that I am not sure how many in the audience understands the humor and references..

An obvious Talmid Chochom. Keep learniong Torah.

I learned so much. Thanks!

too funny and so accurate!

really, really funny. really, really true

Only a comedian could come up with a humorous take on the compulsive obsessiveness that infests Rabbinic Judaism. You go into a Jewish Orthodox Bookstore and half of the books on Shabbat, hundreds are all about how to observe Shabbat. Not any drash or Meshallim just a bunch of do do this and dont do that, this is Muktzeh, this is Bishul this creating fire to the point observing Shabbat has all the simcha of walking thru a minefield. Shabbat was made for man and no man has a right to turn it into something akin to a Medical, Legal, etc volume of works to pass the test and get licensed as it were --I bought the first volume of this book upon its official release. I was optimistic in observance back then. How telling that he had revise it with more stringencies, like there were not enough. and with 2 additional volumes released, you have 1500 pages of Rabbic Dictums to drone thru. What kind of Oneg Shabbat can you have when you your guide books have more pages then the amount of Shabbat hours in a years. God save us. . Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchatah, also pronounced Shemiras Shabbos Kehilchosoh, (Hebrew: שמירת שבת כהלכתה‎‎ translation: "keeping Shabbat according to its law", published in English as Shemirath Shabbath[1]) is a book of halachah authored by Rabbi Yehoshua Yeshaya Neuwirth, which discusses the laws of Shabbat and Yom Tov, and is viewed by many as an authoritative work regarding these laws. Rabbi Neuwirth is a prominent student of Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, and the book generally follows Rabbi Auerbach's opinions. The book discusses practical situations such as driving to a hospital on Shabbat in an emergency. The book rules in accordance with Rabbi Moses Isserles (the Rema), i.e. according to the practice of Ashkenazic Jews. Because the book is popular and Sephardic Jews wish to use it also, Rabbi Yehuda Lavi Ben-David wrote a commentary of notes called Badey Hashulchan (Hebrew: בדי השלחן‎‎ translation: "Poles of the table") which delineates the opinions of Sephardic poskim. The second edition of Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchatah has been translated to English and published by Feldheim.[1] VolumesTwo volumes came out: The original volume; discusses which acts are permitted or prohibited to do on Shabbat. (שמור את יום השבת - Guard the Shabbat day)Published many years later; discusses the halachot of Kiddush and davening (prayer) of Shabbat. (זכור את יום השבת לקדשו - Remember the Shabbat day to sanctify it) ControversyThe book has been published in two different versions. After the first version was published, Rabbi Neuwirth was pressured to change many of his rulings, so in the second version many stringencies (chumrahs) were added, and the footnotes stated that there was an alternative lenient opinion.[citation needed] Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky attacked the book in a sharply worded footnote in his book Chayei Olam, and some other rabbis from the Lithuanian tradition supported him. However, the prominent Gedolim who wrote glowing Haskamos (letters of approbation) to the book presumably disagreed. Besides Rabbi Auerbach, these include Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky, Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rabbi Yosef Breuer, and Rabbi Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg. Moreover, in 1993, about two years before his death, Rabbi Auerbach published a collection of footnotes and corrections to Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchatah, thus further strengthening its stature as an accepted work of halakhic decision-making.

If you’re Christian you’ll wonder. If you’re Jewish you’ll understand. If you study Talmud you’ll laugh. The Koreans are studying Talmud! Happy Hanukkah!

brilliant

who flagged this vid? it wont play in the restricted mode, ppl need to chill the fuck out.

So funny!

Brilliant

Gad Elmaleh did the same number here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kK2AZpZhr5_Hmqc.html It suppose to be "an hommage", but did he give any credit or money to Elon Gold? Nope..

This guy is fucking hilarious 🤣

Why would i like to see Mr Bean perform a episode to this story hahaha

This is funny, and, he's right, could you imagine the rules and stuff! HA!!!! But like all good American Jews don't some of you put up a tree and decorate it only in blue and white light with those silver snow flakes that can pass as silver mogen David's? Even some of my Israeli friends do this in December becasue it's pretty and a good reason to have people over and throw a fun party!

👏👏👏

Lol: truer words were never spoken.

🔥❤️

Reality is the funniest thing .

lol this is so funny Amazing ha ha

No Christmas Trees for Jews - Sanne

Could Christmas be the true festival of lights?

funny... but why take it too far.. every comedian smh

חחחחחחחח Hahahahaha!! Exactly so!

(67)And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you take us in ridicule?" He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the ignorant." (68)They said, "Call upon your Lord to make clear to us what it is." [Moses] said, "[ Allah ] says, 'It is a cow which is neither old nor virgin, but median between that,' so do what you are commanded." (69)They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us what is her color." He said, "He says, 'It is a yellow cow, bright in color - pleasing to the observers.' " (70)They said, "Call upon your Lord to make clear to us what it is. Indeed, [all] cows look alike to us. And indeed we, if Allah wills, will be guided (71)He said, "He says, 'It is a cow neither trained to plow the earth nor to irrigate the field, one free from fault with no spot upon her.' " They said, "Now you have come with the truth." So they slaughtered her, but they could hardly do it. Qur'an Surah 2

THIS GUY SOUNDS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE A YANK, BUT HE MUSTVE GONE TO MY CHEDER IN SUNDERLAND.

lmfao post more often

whoever makes fun of rabbis has no place with the nation and loses olam haba

Omg hrsterical

Christmas trees are pagan.. keep to the Bible 😃

Interesting, but this version is hilarious: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9qVi8ea38DKcXU.html

🤔🙄😴

A bit overdone and futile!....no... not interesting

Very similar to Islamic instructions ... nonsensical gibberish that is !

It's called Christmas, not xmas, because Christmas has the Christ in it , the true Messiah ... Who saved the human kind by rising from death so death no longer has power on all those who have faith in him. The God who became a man so the man can be a god like again after adams fall the 2nd Adam came and rose up! The one who all the prophecies about him in the old testament were finally achieved when he did that on the cross ☦ 🇵🇸

stop making jokes about jews as if jews are the real thing. jew is religion not a ethnicity. sephardic, n ahskenazis are all just europeans who practice judaism not a distinct ethnicity.

Just stupid nonsense!

Brilliant!
