The Israeli TV channel Kan 11 recently aired a hilarious spoof portraying Charedim in a heated debate with their Rosh Yeshiva. The scene centers around the Rosh Yeshiva urging his students to attend a protest, hoping to pressure the government into releasing a jailed bochur who refused to enlist.
One of the "students" innocently challenges him: "But Rebbe, didn’t you teach us that tefillah is the only true force that brings change? So instead of protesting, why don’t we all just daven?"
The Rosh Yeshiva is visibly stumped—scratching his beard, searching for a response. And then, in classic satire, he explodes: "That’s just a bunch of ridiculous fantasies you dreamed up in your head!"
The Charedi world is up in arms over the sketch—but the message is loud and clear. Sometimes, satire cuts deeper than any speech. It exposes contradictions we’d rather not confront.

What’s “hilarious” about it? They did such a bad job getting the actors to look like Charedim that you’d think the producers are clueless goyim in Hollywood. And all it proves is that DIN is on the same page as the anti-frum Chilonim
