So in terms of your material, just in general, how Jewish do you have to be to get all of this stuff? Is there something in there for everybody?
16:16
There really is.
16:16
There really, really is.
16:18
You know, my favorite thing now, I see all the people or the Jewish audience that I've built are now bringing their friends who aren't Jewish, which is so amazing.
16:28
And my show is made where it's observational comedy.
16:32
You're basically seeing the world through Jewish eyes.
16:35
So people who aren't Jewish are getting to experience that as well.
23:50
... what a, a great way to humanize Jewish experience for people who don't get to touch it in their daily lives.
23:57
100%.
23:57
It opens a portal to, to people to see a Jewish life through, through, through comedy and pride.
24:04
'Cause anything we see with Jewish now is all they're, they hate us, they anti-Semite us, they hate Israel, they da, da, da, da.
24:10
I, I mean, Epstein all over the place.
24:12
But, but, but all of a sudden, hey, let's go and laugh.
24:15
Wow, they, they, they also laugh.
29:11
I guess what, in, in like an Orthodox synagogue you've done a show?
36:51
Can you tell us about that a little bit?
36:52
It's an organization in New York that, um, they, they are...
36:55
It, it's people who are Orthodox Jews who are also gay, and they have a lifestyle and they, they, they, they're partnered, and they wanna go to an Orthodox synagogue, and they want an Orthodox service, and they keep kosher, and they learn Torah, and they just happen to be with a same-sex partner, uh, or, or whatever their journey is, and it's just, it...
37:19
And they're completely comfortable and free.
37:21
We did a, uh, an event for them where it was me, my husband, and my rabbi were, were on a panel, and they were asking questions, and we spoke about it, and it was wonderful.

What, what makes your voice unique? Like, what's your avenue in the space?
55:55
Your job as a Jewish comedian is in the Talmud.
55:58
It's, it's, it specifically says this is what you're here to do, right? It, in the Talmud there's a story.
40:31
Right now, I'm avoiding it.
40:32
So I, I, I've...
40:33
So in the first, in the first few months, I avoided, uh, I avoided...
40:39
I just did my act as if that was the act.
40:41
Um, then I dropped that special, uh, Know Your Audience, and then I began to slowly talk about the war, and then just talking about how-...
40:51
the whole world's really looking for a messianic energy.

And they worked off of each other, and it was brilliant.
