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

Hey Shmuck! The message!!!! Listen to the message!
And it's a spoof! You farkitah meshiginar! A spoof! You know what a spoof is!
The mass protest was actually announced as a mass davening - that's what they did at the protest they davened.
אבל למה המיחם מקולקל?!😅
Maybe it's time to talk about the haredi hatred and scorn for the public that has served in this war and the families who have been sacrificing for so long. For their disdain for our fallen.
When one of the Israeli shows did a spoof of Yankel Kanievsky as puppet master of the zayde R’ Chaim they actually did an excellent job of picking & dressing up actors to look like the real life figures. Even McCann Erickson from Madison Ave did a better job imitating Charedim than the current Hutus piece when spoofing a Yerushalmi hafgunoh with an angry oylam against HDTV being introduced to the country

Your comment would be news to Rav Landau and his sidekick Rav Hirsch as they didn't call this as a "YOM TEFILAH" but as a "Yom Atzira"
and they didn't only "daven" they were "mafsik" to throw water on a Lady News Reporter calling her "Shiksa" though she was dressed tzneesdik! They were also "mafsik" to climb on crains, on signs, on roofs of a gas station, and a building under construction!
one of the bochrim was "mafsik" to kill himself!

“Hey Schmuck!” - that’s the spirit! DIN must’ve been influenced by my angry acceptance speech last night!
McCann Erickson apologized & pulled the HDTV commercial when several rabbonim complained that it was obviously ridiculing the Gaavad of the Edah who the elderly figure in the commercial was egging on a big crowd at a drusheh to run outside to riot. It was actually a laugh out loud funny clip, especially that guy shreying that Chilonim are going to Hell for watching tv, lol
The charedi world threw all logics under the bus for a long time already. All they see is the power of their increasing numbers. Might makes right and stupidity reigns supreme.
That Sinas Chinam caused Churban Bayis Sheni is probably also a "bunch of ridiculous fantasies". Good luck to all of us!
