Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Ayelet Newman, known by the stage name Ayelet the Kosher Komic,[1] is an Orthodox Jewish female stand-up comedian. She discontinued her acting career and began performing "kosher comedy" to women-only audiences after becoming a baalas teshuva (embracing Orthodox Judaism) in the early 2000s.[2] In 2003 she moved to Jerusalem.[3] She performs both in Israel and internationally.[4]
Biography
Born Ayelet Ben Hur,[5][6] she grew up in a secular Jewish family in Long Island, New York.[2] After high school, she moved to Los Angeles to audition for roles in TV and film. Among her acting credits are an HBO series, a Lifetime TV movie, and a bit part in the 2003 film The Hebrew Hammer.[2][3][6] She also performed stand-up routines on Comedy Central and at the New York Comedy Club and The Improv.[3]
Her career took a 180-degree turn when she began attending Torah classes at the Los Angeles branch of Aish HaTorah, an Orthodox Jewish outreach organization. As she embraced a Torah-observant lifestyle, she quit acting and began performing what she calls "kosher comedy" – stand-up routines that are devoid of off-color humor, vulgar references, cursing, and personal attacks, but that instead focus on the humor in daily life.[7][2][8] She also stopped performing in front of men, but plays to female audiences exclusively.[7][2]
Шаблон:Quote box Her hour-long show for Orthodox women and seminary girls includes stand-up routines on topics such as modesty, dating, dieting, kosher laws, Jewish prayer, motherhood, and malapropisms in Hebrew.[3][9][10] While most of the show is rehearsed, Ayelet does some improvisation.[4] Her signature routine is a pre-flight safety briefing on the fictional "Glatt Kosher Airlines", in which passengers receive emergency instructions such as: "Should there be, God forbid, a rapid change in cabin pressure, a book of psalms will fall from the panel above your head".[7] "Please say your own tehillim [psalms] prior to assisting the small child, elderly passenger or recent baal teshuvah seated next to you".[2]
She has produced the comic audio CDs It's a Frum Frum Life and Life in Israel.[1]
Personal
Since she started her comedy career in the Orthodox Jewish world as a single woman, Ayelet was reluctant to reveal her age to media sources lest it limit her marriage opportunities.[7] She has since married a full-time kollel student[4] and is the mother of 9 .[11]
