Buddy Hacket : Funny Bit on Carson Show
« on: January 07, 2013, 12:41:44 AM »
Just found a funny bit with Jewish comedian Buddy Hacket on the Johny Carson show... He talks a little about yiddish and his formative years working in the Jewish Catskill resort area...

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

The Catskills are famous in American cultural history for being the site of the so-called Borscht Belt, a Jewish resort area where many young Jewish stand-up comics got their start.
