“If you're in trouble...and you're a Jew... and it's not past Sundown on Friday... you should call "The Hebrew Hammer!"” |
Tasteless taglines and all, this movie hit the major fests by storm and hightailed into mainstream media. Profane, shockingly un-PC and often laugh-out-loud hilarious, The Hebrew Hammer, a.k.a the Jewish Shaft, is pissing off Jews and gentiles alike.
Join Director Jonathan Kesselman and Comedy Central for a wild Jewish ride as you get the low-down on the making of the movie. Grab some grub, down a brew, and hear about the dirty hidden details you missed when you saw this movie the first time. After the screening, get your signed copy of this hilarious DVD – the uncircumcised version!

Join us as we celebrate Mordechai Jefferson Carver, aka the Hebrew Hammer as he fights to save Chanukah from Santa's evil spawn, Damian Claus and his henchman Tiny Tim. In his quest to make Christmas the only year-end holiday, Claus has begun flooding Jewish neighborhoods with bootleg copies of It's A Wonderful Life in an attempt to brainwash Jewish children. A rollicking tribute to 1970s Blaxploitation films retro-fitted with peyos and yarmulkes, what The Hebrew Hammer lacks in taste, it makes up for in pure energy and satirical ruthlessness.
