Lights! Latkas! Action!
Cute video! Poor gefilte fish -- I never realized! I think his name is "Gershom", isn't it? Is he friends with Charlie the Tuna, I wonder? I think they are -- and are a great lesson in inter-reliigous friendship, respect, and fun! (Second favourite part....when the Rabbi says he got the recipe for gefilte fish from his father, who got it from HIS father, who;;;;;; got it off the Internet! (I'm going to tell my aunt that joke...she'll really enjoy it!) Thanks!,,: ) (I use the Internet too much....she never touches a computer....there HAS to be a happy medium, (ARE there any Jewish mediums?
Anyway... Who says only kids enjoy computers? They are for EVERYONE! Including my aunt...& me. Moderation in all things is a Jewish adage SOMEWHERE, I think. (Jewish song: Not on the top, Not on the Bottom, But Just In the Middle.

A doughnut as a freind? How come G. Fish has a doughnut as a freind? Why not a salmon for a freind?

fave part of chanukah reading different stories for each night of chanukah after lighting the menorah and then eating latkes and chocolate gelts, and yes I too love trying to get the choc coins out of the rapping without bending so I can put it back together ;-)

Editor's Response
In a recent comment, a viewer expressed concern that the chocolate gelt trick may encourage an antisemitic stereotype of the "stingy jew." First, and this is of the utmost importance, I apologize for the mistake and pray that I may have the strength and wisdom to avoid such actions in the future.
However, and this is the second point, I would like to express my most sincere and utter horror that the stereotype of the "stingy jew" has left the limitation of monitary greed and has transformed into an outrages and completely unfouinded accuastion that jews have a lust for chocolate that will drive them to dishonesty. Coffee cake maybe, but CHOCOLATE?
PS. The Gefilte Fish character is only 73% fish product and may contain potato or potato by-products. I hope that alleviates your dissapointment.

Stereotyped Jews probably predates Shakespeare's Shylock; you are correct to be more sensitive to this issue in future projects, but really had nothing for which to apologize with regard to this adorable clip.

let's be honest. where is a cheesy latke? it is definately a cheesy video. the chocolate gelt trick only brings gentile stereotype of stingy jews, and that hurts. I thought that it was a latke on the screen but was disappointed to learn it was a gefilte fish.
