Circumcise Me is a 2008 biographical film about the American-born Israeli comedian Yisrael Campbell.[2] It was produced by Matthew Kalman, foreign news correspondent in Jerusalem for USA Today, Canada's Globe & Mail and other newspapers, and David Blumenfeld, an Israel-based photographer who has photographed for Time, Newsweek and other publications.[2]
The film, originally screened under the title It's Not in Heaven: The Comedy of Yisrael Campbell,[3] is about a Catholic convert to Judaism who has become a stand-up comedy star in Israel. Campbell's routine riffs on the fact that he converted to Judaism three times, once Reform, once Conservative and once Orthodox.[4] The film has been screened in Toronto and Jerusalem,[2] and was released in the United States by Alden Films in 2008.[1]
Reception
The Economist called the film "hilarious and moving".[5] Academic Maureen Puffer-Rothenberg recommended it for Jewish studies programs, observing that it demonstrated the coexistence of religious traditions and modern sensibilities.[1]
