Carmel Jewish Film Festival: SWEDISHKAYT: YIDLIFE CRISIS IN STOCKHOLM

Canadian comedy duo Eli Batalion and Jamie Elman bravely step onto Swedish soil to unearth a hidden treasure trove of Jewish culture. Our heroes, like gefilte fish out of water, prepare for a big live show while unraveling the little-known history of Sweden’s Jewish community in their hilarious and heartfelt journey. Through meshugenah encounters and eye-opening revelations, they explore tales spanning 250 years, from the earliest Jewish immigrants to discovering how Yiddish, an almost forgotten language, became a protected government-recognized language in Sweden—yes, THAT Sweden! Along the way, they dive into a cultural revival that’s as unexpected as it is joyous.
