00:00Let us start with the Kabbalah Shabbat service led by our very own Cantor Ben.
00:06Yadid.
00:12You should probably fire me. I would fire me. We're not gonna do that then.
00:16Because my mom's are both big donors to the temple. That is not a small
00:20consideration.
00:30What are you looking at? Nothing. Calling me nothing? Mm-hmm.
00:35Are you okay? Mrs. O'Connor. How do I know you? Ben Gottlieb. Benjamin Gottlieb. You were my
00:42music teacher. Huh. I worked down at the Temple Sinai. I'm a Cantor. So interesting
00:47because I'm an Aquarius. We're obviously... Cantor. Dr. Blodnick is unattached. You know my
00:55daughter, Gabby. Gabby Benjamin. Gabby. Hi, I'm Leah. I'm here for our J-date.
01:00Excuse me? Mrs. O'Connor. Hi. This is a bat mitzvah class. I saw it on the website.
01:06So you want to have a bat mitzvah? Jeez, Benny, you're a sharp one. Your mother has decided to
01:14have her bat mitzvah and I'm gonna give it to her. This is classic Carla. What's the
01:18deal? This is hilarious, Mom. You can sing. How do you sing? I can't sing, but I can't sing.
01:23Come on, you got a big voice in there. That's the voice. That's the voice. She might be able
01:31to handle this. If anyone can do it, it will be her. Carla just taught me that music is the sound
01:39you make. I want you to be happy. It's okay to be loud and to be sloppy. There's cheese in this
01:52meat? Yeah. That's not kosher. Those two things, they go together so well. Why are you in my
01:56pajamas? Shabbat shalom. Shabbat shalom.
