Created by Eli Batalion & Jamie Elman, YidLife Crisis is the world’s first 18 and over/Chai+ Yiddish web series. It’s won numerous awards and been described* as “One of the Top 1000 Things to Happen to the Yiddish Language in the Last 1000 Years”. (*By Eli and Jamie)

Wanting to pay homage to the yiddishkayt in their upbringing and the Jewish comedic lens on life with which they were raised, Eli and Jamie developed the YidLife Crisis web series and cultural brand. 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.
