The storm provoked by the promo for the satire program with an imitation of Rabbi Kanievsky turned out to be unnecessary • There was nothing there that we had not seen before: a reasonable and repetitive imitation, perhaps too

  • The imitation of Rabbi Kanievsky and his grandson in "Eretz Nehederet" last night

In the course of a reality that mimics art (which mimics reality), it was precisely the satirical news edition of "A Wonderful Land" that aired last night (Wednesday) that generated much interest in the political arena even before it aired. 



It's usually politics that provides Molly Segev's program with the bulk of her major sketches, but on explosive days like the ones we've experienced here recently, even a sketch that looked like it did in the past - creates a political storm. 



The following is a summary of the events so far: Yesterday (Wednesday) at noon, a teaser photo appeared on the program's Instagram page, showing Roi Bar Natan and Eran Teicher disguised as the Lithuanian current leader in the ultra-Orthodox community, Rabbi Kanievsky, and his grandson Yanki Kanievsky. 



The network, as usual, is a storm, as are a variety of politicians from the ultra-Orthodox and religious sectors.

MKs from Shas, "Jewish Power" and "Torah Judaism" expressed resentment at what they see as "hurting the feelings of an entire public" and wished the program staff a variety of heartfelt wishes.

Others even took revenge on host Eyal Kitsis by distributing his phone number to the public.

MKs from the left protested against what they saw as "an attempt to impose religious laws and values ​​on the secular entertainment world as well." The biggest winner of this whole story was of course "Great Country," which attracted more attention than usual. Not sure, by the way, Cause.



Just as it is not certain that at another time, less health-challenged and sector-laden, an imitation of the kind broadcast yesterday would have aroused so much interest.

The creators and screenwriters of "Land" never hid their political views.

They also presented actors in the form of ultra-Orthodox leaders in the past (among them the late Rabbi Ovadia Yosef) in the face of resentments at varying levels. Apparently only the spirit of the times has become a fairly plausible, murmur-based and mostly repetitive imitation. , Especially for those who already know him from Teicher and Zarhovich's radio show) so explosive. "Wonderland" just did what it always does: it responded, with the grin of all the souls at work, to the affairs of the day. 



As expected, the program devoted a significant portion to demonstrations in Bnei Brak and to strained relations between secular and religious, which reached a boiling point this week.

There were, among other things, an imitation (particularly successful) of Shani Cohen to Sivan Rahav Meir;

Keeping up to date with demonstrations with Moshe Nussbaum wearing a bathing cap in anticipation of the olive grove splashing; songs a few stereotypes, and even Taylor Malchov one and her whole nida story. In 



between the idea is that the rabbi controls what happens in the country a bit exhausted at some point. "Licha Dudi" or "Rav Kav" could have been given up. Less for reasons of hurt and consideration for the public's feelings and more in the name of the god of comedy. 



Not only did the rabbi get an exaggerated character last night. Orly and Guy, a completely secular media man, were painted In Corona's denial (and blackmail on Lior Ashkenazi and the accuracy in capturing Guy Maroz's nuances and diction). 



In the end there was really no reason for the storm that arose yesterday, and sometimes it is possible, and even desirable, to wait a bit before Whoever does not find humor in it. On the 



part of the people of "Great Land", as they themselves put it yesterday, "even the public whose children have been in quarantine for weeks, it is not funny."
