What happens when two of the funniest guys in the Jewish world are handed buzzers, barely-real categories, and way too much creative freedom? In Jewish Jeopardy, Dovie Neuburger and Ami Kozak turn everything from simcha culture to shul politics into a game board - with punchlines flying faster than they can say “I’ll take Coping Mechanisms for 400.” Between the jokes, they sneak in something deeper: how humor, friendship, and being able to laugh at ourselves can actually keep us sane in a very not-sane world. 🎙️ Ami Kozak & Dovie Neuburger Entertainment Join the Movement.

So,
just out here trying to fill that klipot
nister with some fresh or panacha, you
know what I'm saying? Uh, no, I have no
idea what you're saying. Does anybody
know what he's saying? I believe he's
talking about tikkun olam.
>> Yeah, of course you would think that.
Does anybody know what he's saying?
>> I think he said his vape died.
>> Vape died? Uh, baruch dayan emes.
>> It's like a baby hookah. Okay, let's
check out our categories. We have
shidduchim,
noo noo,
what's his deal,
say better, name that hashkafa,
Jewfluencers,
learner or earner, can you take a small
package for me, out of town, and
finally, I don't love that term.
We prefer semitically challenged.
Okay, before we start playing, I just
want to remind you to please answer in
the form of a question. We're all
Yidden, we know how to do that, right?
Fershtais? Mazel tov.
Let's begin with uh
Yes, Howie, what?
>> Are you validating the parking? You
serious?
Yes, Nissan, what?
>> Rabbi, the prize, it's all cash?
>> It's all for tzedaka, it's for amudim.
Oh,
tzedaka.
Okay.
Momo, why don't you go first, since I
doubt your attention span's going to
last the whole game. I bet. Hit me with
say better 200.
They made the wedding in Lakewood on a
Tuesday because it's halfway between New
York and Baltimore, and said it was more
convenient for the families.
Yes, Rabbi Shelly. What is tikkun olam?
No. Yes, Nissan.
>> What is it's cheaper?
>> Correct. Simcha's cheaper on a Tuesday.
They probably served chicken. Nissan,
the board is yours.
>> I want a shidduch. Okay, you got to pick
a number.
>> No, I want shidduch for my daughter. She
too old. 20. Okay, someone call Aliza
Ben Shalom. Ha! Okay, now, please pick a
number.
>> Shidduchim for 200.
>> Okay.
The shadchan swore she's beautiful with
a big neshama, but she doesn't send
pictures because it's not tznius.
Yes, Shelly. Rabbi Shelly.
What is she's not focused on her looks
because she doesn't want to be
objectified. You should give her a shot.
>> Uh, I don't think you understand the
game. Yes, Momo. She beat. She beat? I
don't think you understand English.
Also, you have to answer in the form of
a question.
Yes, Momo.
>> She beat?
Yes, Howie. What is she's ugly, but they
already paid the shadchan, and she's got
to deliver something? Correct you are,
Howie, for $200.
>> Wow, you buy wife for $200?
Where she from, Isfahan? All right,
Howie, board is yours.
>> Okay, let's try name that hashkafa for
400. He's hideous, she's gorgeous. He
keeps halacha of Yisrael, she has a
tattoo and a nose ring.
Yes, Reb Shelly. What is Chabad? Wow,
Reb Shelly, that is correct. Good for
you. How do you know Chabad?
>> They put tefillin on me every day.
Really? Rashi or Rabbeinu Tam?
Yes. Okay, Shelly, the board is yours.
Rabbi Shelly. Really? Uh, let's do name
that hashkafa
for 800. Okay. I'm strictly kosher, but
I eat out dairy. What is Scarsdale? What
is Englewood? What is Toms River on
vacation? All correct.
>> Isn't all dairy kosher? I hate this
person. Since you all got it right,
Nissan, why don't you take the board?
I'll take what's his deal for 200.
But, listen, you give me the seat for
400.
You can't do that. That's called tax
evasion.
>> What? Who you work for? You wearing a
wire? Okay, back to what's his deal for
200. And for this answer, we're going to
go to our special video clue.
Hello, everybody. Welcome to the 1840
podcast. Today, we are going to explore
the various particularities and
intersectionalities by which our
community finds itself in crisis. We
will explore the exegetical framework by
which we find common understanding
throughout communal infrastructure.
While the foundations of our community
are collapsing around us, we need to
find common understanding, and
oftentimes people struggling within our
community at the various fringes and
marginalizations find comfort in seeking
consultation from me.
Who am I? Huh. All right.
Anybody know who that is?
Anybody get that at all?
Yes. What is
>> Don't you say it.
>> Tikkun olam. Every time with you people.
There's other things. Shelly.
There's other things. Anybody else know
who that was?
Yes, Howie. Who is Dovid Bashevkin? Oh,
nobody knows, actually. I mean, oh,
that's your answer. Correct. Rabbi Dovid
Bashevkin. Howie, board is yours.
>> I'll take what's his deal for 400. He
says he's a comedian, but it seems like
all he does is touch his hair and talk
about dating. I don't know if that's all
he does.
Yes, Howie.
>> Who is Dovi Newberger? Correct. Ew, he
sounds gross.
>> I feel like some people like him. No one
likes him. Although Elon and Modi are
currently fighting for full custody.
Howie, you like him? I don't know him,
but I'm sure there are more talented
comedians with less hair that find him
frustrating.
>> Well, his father's a big rav, he's
probably very disappointed.
>> think he's that disappointed. Wow, his
father's a rabbi?
>> Oh, yeah. Like real rabbi or this?
>> No, no, no. Legit.
>> Liz Glazer was on The Tonight Show
starring Jimmy Fallon. Is her father a
big rav? No, but her wife is. Ah. All
right, Rebbetzin, let's keep it moving.
I got a vach nacht to attend tonight.
>> Bless you.
Howie, pick the category. Let's do
Jewfluencers for 200. Okay.
Andrew Cuomo, Shabbas Kestinbaum, and
the couples on Stories of Hope.
Yes, Momo. What are people that settled?
>> Correct. All right, Momo, you got it
right, but it looks like you're spacing
out. Take a hit of the vape. Nissan,
you're up.
>> I'll take Jewfluencer for 800. Answer is
Sebastian Maniscalco.

answer is three reform rabbis and a
Satmar chassid walk into a bar.
