Circumcise Me

Availability ended PDT
Documentary/Comedy Short, USA/Israel, 2014. Directed by David Blumenfeld and Matthew Kalman.
“Is it hot in here, or am I the only one dressed for Poland in the 17th century?" Yisrael Campbell looks more like a rabbi than a comedian, but don't be fooled by the big black hat, frock coat and Hasidic side-curls. Born Chris Campbell, the son of an ex-nun and a Catholic schoolteacher, he converted to Judaism not once, but three times - Reformed, Conservative and Orthodox. His spiritual journey began as a drug-drenched teenager in Philadelphia and ended in Jerusalem among the suicide bombs of the Palestinian intifada. So what's to laugh about? It's the way he tells it. A hilarious, searching and moving story of one man's quest for spiritual enlightenment against the bewildering backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Shabbos Goy

Availability ended PDT
Comedy Short, USA, 2019. Directed by Talia Osteen.
It’s Shabbat, and for Orthodox Jews, G-d literally forbids the use of electricity. So when a vibrator goes rogue during their evening prayers, a charming, young Orthodox woman must go on a quest to find a willing non-Jew to handle the problem for her. Silly and irreverent, this short film tickles the funny bone in all of us.
