This short was commissioned by Project Mosaica. It's based on an old joke, a perennial in compilations of Jewish humor.

Although the details differ between versions, the scene remains the same: a priest challenges a rabbi to a debate on the spiritual condition of Jewish people. But neither speaks the other's language, and...well, I won't spoil the punch line.
