Craig Robinson - A fan of Israel

I was watching an old clip on the comedy site Funny or Die which featured actors Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Craig Robinson, and director Judd Apatow. It was a self-reflexive viral shill for Apatow's movie Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and it was rather humorous. Especially when Robinson called Apatow a 'fucking Jew' while wearing an IDF t shirt.

I couldn't help but notice that Robinson (Daryl from The Office) was wearing the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) t shirt throughout the entire clip. It struck me as odd, since I never associated the actor with any connection to Israel. It turns out I was wrong about that.

After a web search, I learned that he performed at a benefit comedy show in Jerusalem to support an Israeli humanitarian youth charity. The show was at the Yellow Submarine club, and he cracked some solid jokes about life in Israel and showed off his Hebrew!

You can watch the IDF t-shirt clip below:

My favourite holiday

Coconuts are Kosher for Passover

Chile and Argentina were amazing. It was a month-long adventure of great experiences and incredible locales. I'm looking forward to getting some pictures and videos online. The volcano and rain forest clips will be especially fun to see.

Pesach (Passover) begins tonight. It's an annual Jewish festival which celebrates freedom. It's my favourite holiday. The unique rituals, delicious meals, and incredible back story make it number one in my books. This year, it coincides with the Birkat Hachama, a unique event which occurs only once every 28 years - when the Sun is believed to be in the exact same position it was in during its creation. Pretty cool.
