Can Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio speak Yiddish? Marc Daniels of "Weed Out Hate" has made yarmulkes with all the presidential candidates' names on them. He was in Iowa earlier this week and tried to get Rubio to say Gut Shabbes! on video while wearing a Marco Rubio kippah. Fortunately Lauren Selsky, who covers the Rubio campaign for CNN, was right there to video his three attempts. The first thing Rubio had to do was learn that it's Gut as in "good" and not Boot Shabbes. Here's Selsky's tweeted video:
Maybe it's becoming more popular to get famous people to say Shabbat Shalom. After writing about my friend Lisa Lis, who collects video Shabbat Shalom greetings from celebs, I decided to try it myself. I've found it's much easier to get celebrities or politicians to say the much easier "Shabbat Shalom" on video rather than the Yiddish expression of Gut Shabbes. Too bad Marco Rubio didn't have that option! Here are some famous Shabbat Shalom greetings from the past couple of years:
Shaquille O'Neal Says Shabbat Shalom:
Tina Fey Says Shabbat Shalom:
Charles Barkley Says Shabbat Shalom:
Michael Bolton Says Shabbat Shalom:
Russell Simmons Says Shabbat Shalom:
Bill Cosby Says Shabbat Shalom (Not really!):
Kevin Pollack Says Shabbat Shalom:
Conan O'Brien Says Shabbat Shalom:
J.B. Smoove Says Shabbat Shalom:
Joe Torre Says Shabbat Shalom:
Henry Winkler Says Shabbat Shalom:
