Mason was ordained as a rabbi (like his father, grandfather,
great-grandfather, and brothers) when he was 25, and while he left the
synagogue after three years for a career as a standup comic, the
idiosyncrasies of Jewish-American life have always been one of his
favorite topics. It was only appropriate that Mason should make a
pilgrimage to Israel to present his acclaimed stage act; Jackie Mason:
In Israel captures the comic delivering his often politically
provocative act on the road.

I am a true Jackie Mason fan. I have made it a point to see just about every Jackie Mason performance live. I bought the video "Jackie Mason in Israel" as one of my husband's birthday gifts. I was excited myself since I hadn't seen it yet.
As we watched the first fifteen minutes, we told ourselves that it would get better. Fifteen minutes after that, it still didn't get any better. Of course, since we are fans of Jackie Mason, we can't write that he was terrible, because he never is terrible, or bad, or awful. He just wasn't as funny as he normally is. His jokes were those that made you smile, not those that made you laugh out loud.
Nevertheless, I'm still a fan, and I will keep this tape just as I've kept the others. ~anonymous
