Perla Karney shares pastrami, chopped liver and other favorite dishes with Burstyn in Factor's Famous Deli in Los Angeles. Watching them together is like listening to your Yiddish-speaking relatives during the holidays!
This is a little gem. Loved that they did it in Yiddish. I wish my dear parents were alive so I could show them this. Now I'm dying for a corned beef on rye!
How wonderful to see this video!!! I've worked with the wonderful Mike Burstyn many times, and Perla was one of my phenomenal producers for my one woman show, Hannah Senesh at the Zephyr Theater many years ago. Much love to you both. This was so much fun to watch!!!!
Nice video.I miss the times as a teenager walking down Fairfax Ave. Los Angeles during 60's with the delicious smells coming from open air markets various delis, bakeries and the various stores that sold psychedelic posters incense and you could hear The Byrds playing Turn Turn Turn.. The Yiddish brought back memories of my four grandparents who spoke Yiddish.
I was trying to listen to different words. It's a mixture of so many influences. A fascinating Lingua Franca. That nosh is yummy. It's making me hungry watching this. 😋😛😘
It is crazy how yiddish differentiates between itself. I am German and I can understand almost the whole conversation while I would not even understand one sentence from the lubavitsch rebbe.
Englisch ist meine Muttersprache, aber ich kann auch Deutsch. Ich habe fast alles verstehen. Manchmal, in Amerika, wenn man Jüdisch spricht, benutz man viele Englische Wörter.
I understood most of it. Shmaltz von Hihner... Vorspeys... But "punem": that's a bad word for a face, right? And so is "backen". That's reminiscent of the ancient Dutch word 'bakkes', which is also a bad word for 'face'.
@@PipocaQ I didn’t realize it was so essential to have a kosher deli in a Mike Burstyn video…🙄 and furthermore if he is so proud of his roots, they’re plenty of genuine kosher food places to choose from in Los Angeles. The fact u can ask such a mundane question tells me the simplicity I’m dealing with. Or maybe you’re a hypocrite too.
@@Lorenzoselas If you're doing a video on old school kosher deli cuisine, having somewhere that serves old school kosher deli dishes seems more important than having a kosher restaurant. Particularly because many Jewish people don't actually keep glatt kosher, particularly reform and conservative Jews. The availability of kosher Chinese food isn't actually important. Or a deli with a hechsher that doesn't serve old school kosher deli cuisine.
