Oy vey - tom lehrer meets allan sherman

See it if Hilarious lyricist - - greatly enhanced if you are Jewish, but you don't have to be. Weaves a semi-biographical portrait of the diaspora.

Don't see it if If you feel that Judaic humor is untimely given the war with Hamas, or otherwise have no tolerance for another's cultural perspective.
