Before Itche and Jono can help a guy with his Mitzvah Pledge, they have to help him figure out why he has a string tied around his finger.

Dear Rabbi,
This is the first time I watched your video. I like it and it's not scarey. I don't like scarey things. I liked when the man forgot. I forget letters and numbers sometimes but I know them right in my brain. I liked your video.

Since the main idea of Jewish prayer is to connect with G-d (though this should be impossible), G-d gives us worldly expressions of Himself to help us achieve this connection. Whether through the beauty of a landscape or a song, these tiny reflections of G-dliness help us hold on to the fringes of G-d’s robes, so to speak. Not to spoil the pure joy of your show, and the hilarity that always ensues, but your show is yet another reminder of this connection. Our family loved how the fringe guy was compelled (hilariously) to try to remember what his reminder was supposed to remind him of and the ultimate triumph (also hilarious) of Itche and Jono helping him to remember the mitzvo of remembering with the fringes of a tallis. GO IKS!!!

My name is chana. I like the new tallis giy.
|
Dear Rabbi,
You're funny. I guessed the tallis because it is white with stripes. I sometimes forget mitzvos too even though I want to do them.
|
they get funnier every week!
how do you think off such wacky ideas???
|
That was hilarity! I thank you for brightening up my Friday! Keep it coming, and faster, please!

Dear Itche Kadoozy Show,
Your shows are soooo hilarious! I glad you're making them again. Keep up the good work! There's two questions I want to ask you though. Where's G-fish? Are you realy going two put the shows on weekly like the front page of the Itche Kadoozy Shows says?
|
these are inspired but the Lawnchair guy episode wins hands down! these are great as a whole and I wish more people would see them because the messages are really needed
|
I really liked your new show. We're sisters and one of us was scared the shows would be scary because the Chanukah show had a scary jail part. I liked the mitzvah cards.(one sister) I liked the balloon helikcopter. (other sister). We're also learning how to write interesting stories. We had to brainstorm a problem that the characters can solve. Do you have someone to brainstorm with like us?
Your show is interesting and fun.

Why are all the posters from Chicago? is it the only town where ppl have a sense of humor?
Oh and I love the new look!
|
Where did G.fish disappear to why aren’t their any more episodes with G.fish what happened?

Candy from Cleaners - who said its kosher p it looks like the cleaners is not Jewish - this show is seen by many kids and eating kosher food should be stressed - please make sure that in future shows we dont give misconceptions about things that are basic Jewish Law. IK is supposed to teach Torah not turn people away from it. Thanks
|
Yes, indeed, George. Chicagoans may have a less restrained, more free-ranging sense of humor. Never thought about it before since we're supposedly nowhere near as cool as Californians, for example. Yey, us! (And it may help, and may even be proof there-of, that Dovid Taub and Jonathan Goorvitch grew up in Chicago).Yosef, we do appreciate your kosher concerns out there in Denver perhaps. Our Dry Cleaners, however, is run by nonJews yet they very much serve their many Jewish customers even including having our Shatnes lab pick-up there. I would think the Torah message, or for that matter, any safety message, should be that grown ups (and yes, Jono is a grown-up even if ridiculously funny) can make certain decisions such as with whom to speak or what to eat, etc but children should ask their grown ups first. (And let's remember that Jono has already become so meticulous about kosher food that he almost dropped out of the Chanukah donut eating contest rather than eating unkosher ones, a problem Itche solved.)Oh, and IKS, we loved the candy clue(especially for the children's thinking)because it actually looked so tallis-like.

where is g-fish?????? i'm sooo worried about him!!!! also, are you really going to have new shows weekly? and i liked the quest- can you start a new one like that? also, when is mrs. kadoozy coming out? it says coming soon, coming soon, coming soon. and also, why is everyone who posts from chicago???
|
Good point.
I thought the same thing, but... The cleaner guy was Russian, so he was probably a Russian Yid.
Still, it that was only a rationalization of why he wasn't shown checking. Maybe it would have been better if it showed him looking at the candy, then a close-up of a big CHK on the back of the candy? Or, he could also have looked at it, put it back and have the Rav ask why, after which he could say "I didn't see a Heckser." But then that would mean the Russian Yid was leaving non-Kosher candy out, so that wouldn't be good.
Maybe if the sign said "Kosher Kleaners"?
I don't know how best to handle it, but I agree that you do have a good point.

To everyone who is wondering where I went to:
Please do not be alarmed. I am currently working with the Mossad on a secret misson. I and serveral other highly-trained gefilte fishes are planning to parachute into enemy territory and drown our enemies in gefilte fish broth.
Please don't tell anybody about this mission because it's TOP SECRET!
(Oh wait, this is on the Internet. Just ignore everything I said.)

don't you know, jono ate g- fish for his shabbos meal, since there was a shortage of g- fish in jonotown!
|
What happend to roy and marven
|
yah, what did happen to roy and marvin? also, why is everyone who posts from chicago?
|
I think the characters should wear seat belts when driving.
Keep those great shows coming- they help my son eat his meals.
|
Very funny to see the sign in the zoo for the Stripopotomus...loved this edition. Great job
|
I would assume Jono is driving, because he's on the left side of the car, but...
1. He doesn't look like he's driving
2. If I was Itche, I wouldn't let Jono drive my car.
|
i thought the black and white striped clothing was barry's tie. was that to mix u up or just coincidental?
|
i think u should have made it tzitzis not tallis, i mean, what's a tallis witout tfillin? if barry plegded to put on a tallis, he should have first put on tfillin. tzitzis makes more sense because the strings and knots (as mentioned by barry) are realy what make you remember the 613 mitzvos. besides the strings on the tallis are tzitzis.
|
it doesnt make a difference.....tallis tefillen...like big woops...and this is obviously a video thats not for you....there doing an amzing job...keep it up!!!
|
mordechai's point is valid.
maybe it was chol hamoed, the intermediary days in yom tov that we put a tallis on but no teffilin.
|
Check out this guide to tallis and tefillin! (www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/110306/jewish/Tallit-and-Tzitzit.htm)
Maybe it will clear a few things up.

Just like wisdom, knowledge and understanding where understanding is a mix of the two and generosity,strictness and beauty where beauty is a mix of the two so too with yarmulkah, tzitzit and tefillin.
Yarmulkah concentrates on the thought that G-D is above us. With tzitzit we remember all the commandments of the Torah. Teffilin has two parts: The teffilin of the head and the teffilin of the arm. The head represents thought and the hand represents action.
A further difference is that Teffilin is from the Torah, tzitzit too but only if you are wearing a four cornered garment, and finally yarmulkah is a minhag (custom).
