Though it wasn’t made for a Hebrew holiday specifically, today’s cartoon is about something equally important to the Jewish people: food.

I made this cartoon in the summer of 2005 for a Long Island-based Kosher food distributor. First, I got my extremely talented musician friend Micah Frank to compose all the music, then I wrote some lyrics and the two of us sang it.

The two cartoon narrators are modeled to look like my grandfathers in their younger days. Both were skilled masters in the Jewish art of “noshing” (Yiddish for snacking). They would be jealous to know that one of the perks from doing this cartoon was a free pass to the Kosher food convention at the Jacob Javits Center. I got to spend a whole day running around sampling delicious food of every sort. It was basically like a live-action re-enactment of the cartoon.
