They describe YidLife Crisis as a love letter about modern Jewish identity, set mostly in Yiddish,  making Jewish identity inclusive to all through the ice-breaking power of comedy. What started as a passion project turned into a hit with over 3,000,000 video views and 30,000 subscribers, global press, awards and accolades, the collaboration of talent such as Mayim Bialik and Howie Mandel, and a chance to work with various organizations from Jewish community centers through academic institutions through comedy festivals. Jamie ElmanTwitter: @JamieElmanJamie has appeared on many of television's most acclaimed series including Mad Men, Curb Your Enthusiasm, House M.D., Criminal Minds, Without A Trace, CSI: NY, The Closer and The Young and the Restless. He also played Luke, the resident piano-playing record store guy and boyfriend, for three seasons on NBC's award winning and critically lauded drama American Dreams. His breakout role was Cody on the FOX/YTV hit teen sitcom Student Bodies. Jamie has starred in "California Dreamin'" (Grand Prix, Un Certain Regard, 2007 Cannes Film Festival), "When Nietzsche Wept", "Shattered Glass", "The Chicago 8", "Saving Lincoln", and "Random Encounters". He has done extensive voice work for video games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and animated films including Disney's Wreck-It Ralph and the blockbuster Frozen. He also wrote and starred in the web series "crazy/sexy/awkward," produced by Howie Mandel, and "YidLife Crisis," the world's first 18+ Yiddish comedy series. He recently appeared in the finale of Canadian series "Bomb Girls." Jamie is also an accomplished blues and jazz pianist and singer.Eli Batalion Twitter: @EliBatalionInstagram: @elibatalionEli Batalion is a writer, producer, director, actor and composer for film, TV, the web and the stage who has taken his love of the arts into the realm of social entrepreneurship. Hei began his career in musical theatre with the award-winning internationally touring play "JOB: The Hip-Hop Musical." He and partner Jerome Sable evolved their work to the screen with the musical horror comedy short "The Legend of Beaver Dam" selected to TIFF, Sundance, Berlinale and over 75 global film festivals. From there, they evolved to feature horror musical comedy Stage Fright featuring Minne Driver and Meat Loaf. "YidLife Crisis," Eli's project done with partner Jamie Elman, uses the disarming power of comedy to be able to build bridges within and between communities. In a short period of time, it has grown from an award-winning fictional web series to an unscripted digital docu-series "Global Shtetl," the award-winning documentary feature "CHEWDAISM: A Taste of Jewish Montreal" and a global live touring phenomenon. Eli's writing/directing feature film debut, Appiness, supported by Telefilm Canada and the Talent Fund, was released by distributor Gravitas Ventures in 2020.--------------------------------------------------------------------- *This episode was recorded under lockdown conditions.
