Committed to your spiritual safety': El Al safety video parody

Jewish-American comedy writers
Levinson Brothers post satirical in-flight safety video in wake of recent
incidents of flight delays due to haredi passengers' refusal to sit next to
women.
"Gentlemen, and unfortunately,
ladies," the announcement featured in a satirical in-flight safety video
by Jewish-American comedy writers Stephen and Joel Levinson begins. The parody
of El Al's flight safety video presents guidelines for passengers, following
recent cases in which flights were delayed after ultra-orthodox Jewish men refused to take their seats next
to women .
In one of the latest of such
incidents, which was first published by Ynet , passengers aboard an El
Al flight from New York to Israel described their trip as an "11-hour long
nightmare" due to disruptions caused by Haredi travelers during the
flight.
According to the
passengers who were on the plane, their fellow ultra-Orthodox travelers refused
to sit next to women prior to the takeoff, which not only delayed the flight,
but caused actual chaos to ensue on the plane.Tablet, the Jewish online
magazine that posted the video in question, mentioned the recent cases in which
haredi passengers demanded that secular travelers change seats, and added that
"to help the airline better articulate its policies, and to educate
passengers on what they might expect on their 11-hour journey to the Holy Land,
we turned to our friends the Levinson Brothers, who produced an in-flight
safety video El Al could screen as passengers board at JFK airport."
