Jewish Humor Website Jewlarious.com Releases Video Spoof on the New Apple iPhone -- the jPhone

Jerusalem, Israel (PRWEB) June 27, 2007 -- Aish.com (www.aish.com), the leading Judaism website, and Jewlarious.com, the leading Jewish humor website, have released a video spoof of the new Apple iPhone called "jPhone." (http://www.aish.com/movies/jphone.asp). The jPhone nags, it nudges, it kvetches and it kibbitzes. It tells you to give charity and go to synagogue. And it always reminds people to call their mothers. Always.

While the iPhone plays song favorites from groups like U2, the Dave Mathews Band and Coldplay, the only thing that the jPhone plays is Matisyahu.

Second only to the U.S., the State of Israel has become the top destination for high tech start-ups and technological innovation. But as of yet, they have not put their collective minds together to innovate a technological breakthrough with a uniquely, well, Jewish twist. Until now that is.

jPhone stars Yisrael Campbell and Ethan Chernofsky, was written by Richard Rabkin and directed by Micah Smith.

Nechemia Coopersmith, Editor-in-Chief of Aish.com thinks the jPhone video will be very well received. "Apple's iPhone is obviously going to be huge. When I saw the Mac/PC commercials, I wondered what it would be like to fuse the personality of an 80-year-old Jewish grandfather into a high tech device."

Coopersmith says: "So I assembled the Aish.com team and we started brainstorming: What would a Jewish phone look like? How would it talk? How would it act? The answer is the jPhone."

Aish.com is the largest Judaism website with 3 million monthly visits and 260,000 unique email subscribers. Aish.com features content on spirituality, dating, parenting, Israel and the Holocaust, plus a live webcam from the Western Wall, cutting-edge blogs, and innovative short films.

Jewlarious.com is a weekly web magazine featuring videos of Jewish comedians, a database of Jewish jokes, and original short films.

The websites are both divisions Aish HaTorah, a network of Jewish educational centers in 35 branches on five continents, headquartered in Jerusalem near the Western Wall.
