What happens

The Jews Are Coming (Hebrew: היהודים באים, Hayehudim Ba'im) was an Israeli satirical television series. Each episode consists of several sketches on subjects ranging from Biblical stories, to Jewish Diaspora and Zionist history and Israeli current affairs, with occasional pop culture references such as a sketch featuring a religion centered on "The Dude". The ensemble cast includes such well-known actors as Moni Moshonov, Ido Mosseri and was directed by long time comedy director Kobi Havia (Domino, Echad Ha'am 1). The show's opening sequence featured two male hands preparing a set of traditional circumcision implements. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
