I think we can all agree that, at a certain point, Hebrew, with its guttural “Chhhh“s and harsh rolling Rs, sounds not-entirely-dissimilar to a cat working on a particularly stubborn hairball. Couple that with the fact that most American bar/bat mitzvah kids (or the adults they eventually grow up to become) have no idea what they’re saying when they start chanting their haftorah portions, and you’re all set to appreciate Comediva‘s Ariana Seigel and Emma Tattenbaum-Fine as they get sloshed on their sofa and bond over their mutual love of “Fake Hebrew”.
Their bat-mitzvah tutors must be so proud.
