A Jewish deli experience with actor Mike Burstyn - in Yiddish!

Perla Karney shares pastrami, chopped liver and other favorite dishes with Burstyn in Factor's Famous Deli in Los Angeles. Watching them together is like listening to your Yiddish-speaking relatives during the holidays!

This is a little gem. Loved that they did it in Yiddish. I wish my dear parents were alive so I could show them this. Now I'm dying for a corned beef on rye!

Nice video.I miss the times as a teenager walking down Fairfax Ave. Los Angeles during 60's with the delicious smells coming from open air markets various delis, bakeries and the various stores that sold psychedelic posters incense and you could hear The Byrds playing Turn Turn Turn.. The Yiddish brought back memories of my four grandparents who spoke Yiddish.

It's a nice video, but I wish there were subtitles for non-Yiddish-speakers.

Isn’t that Kuni Lemel all grown up?

[@Bestemann213]

It is crazy how yiddish differentiates between itself. I am German and I can understand almost the whole conversation while I would not even understand one sentence from the lubavitsch rebbe.

[@marcelbas]

I understood most of it. Shmaltz von Hihner... Vorspeys... But "punem": that's a bad word for a face, right? And so is "backen". That's reminiscent of the ancient Dutch word 'bakkes', which is also a bad word for 'face'.

He sure doesn't seem 78.

I didn't know this but it remembers me of my mum and makes me laugh and cry a bit

I was trying to listen to different words. It's a mixture of so many influences. A fascinating Lingua Franca. That nosh is yummy. It's making me hungry watching this. 😋😛😘

How wonderful to see this video!!! I've worked with the wonderful Mike Burstyn many times, and Perla was one of my phenomenal producers for my one woman show, Hannah Senesh at the Zephyr Theater many years ago. Much love to you both. This was so much fun to watch!!!!

The hot sardines did very good cover of Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen. Could anyone please tell me the musicians who are the background music?

Es hilft mir beim Verstehen hiervon, dass ich Deutsch verstehe.
