A gut #Shabbos.
Is this racist or just not PC?

Modi isn't being racist. That's just being funny.
I posted him doing a nearly identical set of bits over a year ago. :)
@serge @blumenberg interesting. I thought it was pretty boring. But I guess as an ex catholic I might lack insight to get the jokes.
Have you been to Ashkenazi shabbat dinners? Have you been to Sephardi ones? It's pretty spot on!
@serge @jnfrd I've been to ashkenazi and sephardim and what Modi describes isn't my experience at all. It's more between orthodox and conservative/liberal. Not only the duration but the passion too – at least regarding the rituals/tseremonye.
Ps. My grandfather was conservative, but coming from an (ashkenazi) orthodox shtetl community, and when he retired he became orthodox/frumm again. No erev shabbos less than 3 hours. No erev pessach less than 6 hours.
@blumenberg @serge my first, probably very ignorant, thought was: a northern dude cracks jokes about the lively southerners. Just with a vocabulary I’m not used too.
But again. I’ll just trust your opinions more than mine here.
No, not at all this. Also he's not making fun of just Sephardim. He's also making fun of Ashkenazim, which he does a lot.
@serge @blumenberg ok. Making fun of everyone is something I dig.
