WATCH: Adam Sandler Getting His Palm Frond On

Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah..

Oops, wrong holiday.

American actor, comedian, screenwriter, film producer, and musician Adam Sandler has been filmed making a blessing with his daughter on the lulav and etrog after bumping into Chabad rabbis near Brentwood Los Angeles.

What I love about this is not just that Sandler actually stopped to do it with his daughter but how serious he looks as he tries to do it. He is not his usual jokey self at all. Dare I say it, it seems he really wants to do it properly – for his sake but also for his daughter’s.

I have always considered Adam Sandler a mensch – whether it be for ripping BDS and Roger Waters, or other supportive comments about Israel. This just reaffirms my view.

  1. Was inspired by this post to write the following ditty, the lyrics that Adam Sandler might perhaps have written about Sukkot were he more familiar with the holiday:
    ******************************************************************************

    Get your willow, citron fruit, your myrtle and palm frond
    It’s time to celebrate those days of which we’re all so fond
    You shake these plants front, right, and back, then left, and up and down
    And for a week your neighborhood becomes a shanty town

    Chorus:
    Loved ones coming together, under a leaky roof
    Around the table to enjoy the Festival of Booths
    Let words of song and gladness, and laughter fill your throat
    As we feast and celebrate the holiday that’s called Sukkot

    Tasty meals and joyous company are all abound
    Our festival of happiness, for Jewish folk around
    With dearest fam-i-ly and friends, your Sukkah fills with light
    While our often somber scholars throw huge parties every night!

    Chorus:
    Loved ones coming together, under a leaky roof
    Around the table to enjoy the Festival of Booths
    Let words of song and gladness, and laughter fill your throat
    As we feast and celebrate the holiday that’s called Sukkot

    And Sukkot has another trait ‘bout which I’m glad to share
    It’s not just for the Jews, oh no, there’s no need to compare
    The prophecies were spoken back two thousand years at least
    That all the peoples on the Earth will join in the great feast

    Chorus:
    Loved ones coming together, under a leaky roof
    Around the table to enjoy the Festival of Booths
    Let words of song and gladness, and laughter fill your throat
    As we feast and celebrate the holiday that’s called Sukkot

    Ya-na-nai-nai-nai-nai Yana-nai-nai-nana-nai…
