In a parody of “Santa Baby,” Bloom wears a blue-and-white Santa outfit to try to seduce her Jewish crush by playing up their tribal bond and cooing, “Come and bless my challah tonight.”

Rebecca Bunch (Bloom) and her childhood nemesis, Audra Levine (Rachel Grate), duke it out in the Jewish American Princess Rap battle. These two “She-brews from Scarsdale” drop crazy Jewish verse, insulting each other with references to Birthright, AEPi and seder plates.

Best line: “We’re liberals / duh / progressive as hell / though of course I support Is-ra-el.”

‘Remember That We Suffered’

‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ (2017)

 

At a bar mitzvah in Scarsdale, Rebecca’s childhood rabbi (Patti LuPone) and over-the-top mother (Tovah Feldshuh) prove that even during celebration, trauma is never too far from the Jewish psyche. This horah contains “the sweet and the bitter / Streisand and Hitler.”

Best line: “When I say ‘We,’ you say ‘Suffered’ / We — Suffered! / We — Suffered!”

‘F—- Me, Ray Bradbury’

Bloom proves she’s a person of the book with this explicit entreaty to “the greatest sci-fi writer in history.”

‘Historically Accurate Disney Princess Song’

YouTube (2013)

 

Bloom offers a feminist send-up of Disney fairy tales as she searches for her prince in a medieval village decimated by the plague where Jews hide in the forest out of fear for their lives.

Best line: “Oh look everyone! It’s my friends from the forest — The Jews! Hello Jews! … Tell me, have you ever had a dream you thought wouldn’t come true? Oh I see, your dream is that people won’t want to kill you. Well, that’s definitely a dream that won’t come true!”
