YidLife Crisis is a Yiddish comedy web series and Jewish cultural brand founded by Eli Batalion and Jamie Elman. Their mission is to explore the identity crisis that arises when reconciling old world traditions with modern lifestyles. Through their comedy series, they pay homage to their Yiddish heritage and present a Jewish comedic lens on life.

Initially supported by the Shaping our Future Grants and the Bronfman Fellowships, YidLife Crisis began as a love letter to modern Jewish identity. Focusing on inclusivity, they use the ice-breaking power of comedy to connect with people from all backgrounds. From their humble beginnings, YidLife Crisis has grown into a global sensation, garnering over 3,000,000 video views and 30,000 subscribers.

They have received widespread acclaim, global press coverage, and have collaborated with esteemed talents such as Mayim Bialik and Howie Mandel.
