Nostalgia

I keep saying that nostaligia isn’t what it used to be, but the truth is that cleaning out the house for Pesach allows one to find all sorts of things from the past.

One of the things I dug up was a video of a TV programme made by TVNZ about being a Jewish teenager in New Zealand. It was for ‘Viewfinder’ which was a teenage magazine programme. And guess who the teenage Jews were that they used for the show? Me and brother Michael.

I managed to turn the video into a DVD and uploaded it to youtube. So if you want a laugh, or remember the 80s, have a look at this:

Chag Kasher v’Sameach

PS In the clip I am teaching why we have an egg on the seder plate. Luckily they cut the film before the bit where I said “Actually, I have no idea!” I’ve learnt from my mistakes, and now know why we have an egg on the seder plate (and it is nothing to do with the Easter bunny!)
