Was the Yale logo stolen from the Jews? A prank call to Yale University

- After it was announced that Yale University was removing the word "Israeli" from it's menu, we realized that our only chance against Americans is through guilt. So we called Yale to protest cultural appropriation - This time, ours.
*all conversations in this channel are real - Zábava
"the color yellow is also ours, but we will discuss this another time" had me in stiches
It took a moment for me to get it... 😅
colors belong to everyone
Well, it could be serious. Both Time magazine and Nat. Geographic have threatened suits for using the red or the gold that they use to frame their magazines. Other companies have also, though I can't remember which.

Hamlindigo Blue moment
Can we give props to the respondent? She handled it pretty well.
Yes. Much better then the Harvard dude for sure
That was my first thought too. Even felt bad for the uni😅
Seriously. This was just lame.
its bs. its not a real call. nobody has a conversation as clear and consistent as that.
No, she was polite and respectful.
The correct response was "Heil Hadrian!" then abruptly hang up the phone.
the irony of Yale using anything from the Torah is astounding let alone anything that means "innocent. My favorite phrase that they can use is "anachnu universita tipsha!!" Absolute Gold!! Please Yale, Harvard, Columbian, NYU, Berkley etc Use THAT one!! you guys are GENIUSES!!! Thank you so much for all of your videos. Please keep them coming, they're great
She made up a meaning. 😅 Many don't know what it says
No man it just sounds like that in Hebrew, the real meaning of the phrase is a person who's an expert/very skilled in a certain field (or something like that)
urim ve tumim are 2 stones. black and white. it's from a story in the torah. it doesnt mean what she said she was making fun of the yale representative
AFAIK, it’s closer to “integrity” in this Toranic context. which is no less hilarious :)
It means "Truth"
Wow! Thank you so much for recording this in English. I so very much enjoyed both this prank call and the one to Harvard. These are hilarious! 😂.
Lol Princeton should be next.
Of course, cause they speak English
@@sharonefee1426 😂. Of course you are right. I realized that when I posted it because the offices of Yale and Harvard speak English. I chose not to edit it. But in thumbing through all the other videos, they are in Hebrew, so that is what I had in mind. These creators are so cleaver I’m tempted to learn Hebrew just to listen. 😉
Try UPenn first! (Pro tip: the caller should repeatedly refer to them as Penn State.)
@@ejb7969😂😂😂
That anxious "that's beautiful, that's beautiful" 😂😂😂😂
Hilarious!
You can hear the fear of congressional hearings in her voice 😂🤣
@@B01 judging from how well she actually handled this call, I think she probably would have handled the hearing infinitely better than those clowns who can't even accept responsibility for their abhorrent actions. Harvard and MIT are still holding on, aren't they?
How can you say in front of the world that you'd only take action against calls for genocide against Jews when they cross over into action,
and double down on that when given the opportunity right then and there
and think you can hold onto your office?
@@kayjay7585 assuming that was said just to say it, since I clearly am not the intended target of that speech as I couldn't be more of a Zionist, physically or mentally COULD NOT be more lol
But...now for some comic relief, check out the Hogwarts parody of the congressional hearings, promise it's worth the watch lol
Super, hilarious, but the rep at Yale was pleasant and her responses were not shameful like the rep at Harvard
She was very kind and the joke wasn’t about her. It’s just about exposing how every majority but the Jews gets to have protection.
I wonder if that's because Yale is in Connecticut and Harvard is in Massachusetts. You know the people of Massachusetts proudly call themselves "Mass-holes." That was shocking to me, like they are actually pleased with being jerks? 🤷♀️ Different states, different cultures.
@@happygolucky9004 have you ever met a New-Yorker ?
@@rainman1242 Yeah, I live in Connecticut and go to New York on weekends occasionally. Met plenty of New Yorkers and I think mass-holes are worse.
@@happygolucky9004 " I think mass-holes are worse." whoa that must be something then :-)
She was so anxious to not end up on the news😂
the yale rep handled it really well; respectful and courteous. total professional.
"The color yellow" 😂😂😂😂
Great one!
" Anachnu Universita Tipsha" killed me. That should be the slogan of Yale.
I too caught that that took me back too many years ago the leathermen scissors raptor. The handles were like a high vise orange and somebody had a patent on that color so Leatherman keep one of the handles high vise orange that’s the way it was explained to me I would’ve never thought they had a patent on a color.
Racheli, I literally laughed so hard I cried. Brilliance. Thank you so much. I really needed it. (Now, back to the gloom . . . )
Fun fact: "Israeli Cuscus" (Ptitim in Hebrew) is not the same dish as Moroccan Cuscus, it's an Israeli invention from the 1950's that is sort of a mix between rice and pasta. In Israel, it is sometimes called "Ben Gurion rice" because David Ben Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel had personally directed the company 'Osem'(the same company that makes Bamba) to create it since there was a large food shortage at the time, and ever since then it is one of the most loved Israeli dishes, served alongside Schnitzel and ketchup😋
Dude couscous and ptitim are two different things
@@user-gd9bg1bm4cthat’s the point.
Israeli cuscus is ptitim.
That is the dish in the video.
Read that again, thats what he is saying: "Israeli cuscus", as it was called in Yale is Ptitim which are in fact Israeli@@user-gd9bg1bm4c

When she had to quickly think what Urim vetumim means and just thought of the closest words 😂
No, the roots of those words do mean light and innocent

Jewes is historically derogatory term.
@@TheEntilza I believe we're allowed to reclaim it. Though if it's currently being used this way I might stand corrected.
Poor lady, she was so polite and helpful
She need better boss. Real problem is not menu but multiple anti-semits in university including not only studens but rectors and no response from administration. Some other respected universities even answered to"do call fore genocide of jews violates youre rules" - "depends on contex, if it is not aimed in person its ok".
the colour yellow is also ours 😂😂😂
Racheli love from Hungary!!!
“It means ‘lights’, and….👀🤔.. innocents.”
Great joke, love that pause. I wonder how many people got that one😂
I didn't get it then. And since I'm of fan of getting things hidden please enlighten me?
Me too
@@AtomkeySinclair The second Hebrew word of the Yale motto, which is tumim, has an uncertain meaning which has been highly debated among rabbis. The root of the word has the same root of the Hebrew word for innocent. So the joke was that she was claiming ownership of the Hebrew phrase when nobody really knows exactly what the word even means.
@Mfhollander2 Excellent, and thank you for the rabbit hole to explore on the word tumim. Much appreciated for the knowledge.
Thanks so much for explaining this mate - I knew it was some sort of inside gag, but my knowledge Hebrew is rubbish! Is this to do with the high priest’s ’Urim and thummim’? Or does it just sound like it?
My grandfather was one of the first Jews allowed to go to Yale Law school after historically banning them. Looks like Yale is turning back the clock.
In my predominantly Jewish high school (back in 1975) a friend applied to Harvard, Yale and U of Chicago. He received an automatic rejection from Harvard. A few weeks later he received an acceptance to Yale. We all laughed about it because we knew Harvard rejected him because they had met their quota of new Jewish students, but obviously Yale had not. There have always been quotas to the ivy league schools for all minorities, including Jews.
About time.😅
you seem to forget that right now Israel is commiting a genocide? do you condem the IDF?
@@dickschlau3592 There is no genocide. Only despicable chants by pro-Hamas [protesters] calling for the genocide of Jews across the world.
@@dickschlau3592completely unrelated.
I feel sorry for her. She didn't make the rules, and she just doesn't want to be sued or cancelled over nothing. She also sounds like a nice person to me
Agreed. I guess she should choose a better boss to work for 🤓
She was very gracious. She deserves to work in a better place.
Perhaps she could head up a new department of graciousness and decorum..
@@Kranebitter81 Or replace the university’s president. Empathy is the highest virtue and seems she had it in spades.
She deserve a better workplace!
I shouldn't have been eating Israeli Cuscus while I was watching this because I'm choking with laughter and my eyes are streaming!
Thank you for an amazing laugh 😂
Laughed so hard, through tears. TO LIFE !! Am Yisrael chai !
This was brilliant. "Anachnu Universita Tipsha" is def my favourite of the slogans. Please, use that one, Harvard. I beg of you.
They should have that slogan for 5 years as penance for their woke ignorance.
ps "slogan" is from the Irish language...you can't use that word either, Preppie.
@@aquinasish8277 thanks for that tidbit of info. I didn't know that about the word "slogan".
Please translate!!! 🙏
@@elenaherwagen3529 "anachnu universita tipsha" means "we are a stupid university". It's playground humour but it fits in to the skit pretty well.
@@yasminni485 😂😂😂 Thank you!
Why this video hasn't yet gone viral means humanity isn't ready right now for the reality check
Thank you for making it in English...for Americans who love Israel and their people!!! Bravo prank call!!!👏👏👏
Most Americans support palestine, the establishment loves IL because it makes them money. Then they show you how good IL is on MSM that only the gullible elderly fall for these days.
This doesn’t sound like a prank call Israelis genuinely get offended by shit like that
😂😂this is not a prank call bro. And you love the country that killed your saviour. Crazy
Haha. Brilliant. The new logo at the end is perfect :)
After Oct. 7th I stopped laughing. Your videos have made me start to laugh again. Keep up the great work!
Israelis believe any crap they are fed. The IDF killed many hostages and then come up with crazy unbelievable stories. A female 19years old soldier’s hiding location was bombed, IDF said her captors were killed but she survived, (miracle) and was then rushed to hospital by other Hamas militants only to be executed there!🤨 …. Now it says that the three shirtless hostages it killed survived were free because they survived a bombing that killed their captors! 🫤 I bet you believe in the mythical rape stories?

Bro, what made you stop laughing, you sound so ominous
@@neoieo5832 He means the festival incident, of course.
@@mrtee3988 oh yeah, I wondered why October 7 was so familiar
Honestly the administrator was being really sincere in dealing with the complain
Rachel: You are brilliant and hilarious! I could watch this over and over again. Kol Hakavod and Yasher Koach.
"Couscous is not Israeli! Free the Couscous!" Priceless. 😂😂😂
Bless the PA she was so pleasant, polite and respectful. I hope she does understand what this was about and that she is not the problem.
Next thing you know, the Catholic Church will be calling to take back "Lux et Veritas," maybe they could replace it with "Haec schola insanus est"
So so good. Thanks for the laughs.
Keep making this videos, they're hilarious!
I love how they mock institutional hypocrisy and pandering.
How you managed to do all that without laughing is so awesome ;-)
Loving the authentic audacity 🤣😅🤣
The final Hebrew on the Yale Seal, shown over the building entrance reads..."butt and farts" 😂
Poor girl. She is only the receptionist taking the message
This is amazing😂💜👍
It sounds like the kind of prank Harvard would play on Yale. 🤣 The lady answering the phone was really courteous and polite.
the colour yellow is also ours 😂😂😂😂😂
I love the "Free the Hoshen" placard! 😄
The next call will be made by the attorney of the official descendants of the high priests office as well as by copyright owners of the yellow color representatives.
I can't stop laughing 😂😂 I .. just.. can't 😂😂😂
Amazing… I can imagine the confusion and laughter that proceeded.
Excellent! I really like the suggestion of "Anachnu universita tipsha" as previously mentioned by another person before me, but I would like to make one other suggestion if I may like "we are a university of bigots". Keep up the excellent work! Thank you for sharing!
The Hebrew phrase means "Light and Truth." And it is repeated in Latin as well on the Logo!
Ancient hebrew is hard to definitively translate to english but the literal definition is closest to innocence. The phrase itself as a whole rarely translated as it is the name of a tangible thing that would light up with the truth
@@princessglitterbutt5984I kind of thought that “Lights and Perfection” was what that translated to, but that is based off of teachings about the Old Testament, and usually they ended the topic with “we have no idea exactly what happened, but it was a way for the Priest to get a literal DIRECT answer from YHWH”.
@@redlandz1977 Like I said it’s hard to translate ancient Hebrew to English, the root of “tumim”, “תם”, is translated as mild mannered, a child that can’t talk yet, an innocent, and yes perfection. It’s definitely not “truth” bc the root of that is “אמת”. And yeah no one knows exactly what it was but according to the popular opinion it caused letters to light up on the choshen spelling out Gds words.
this is high art.
*high f-art
It’s utterly crazy that one can’t get away with the correct response: “fuck off and stop wasting my time”.
What a great start to my day. This is absolutely hilarious, thank you!
outstanding work. 😂😂😂
lollll this is amazing. My favorite sweatshirt is a yale sweatshirt from H&M and other charaidim that see it are always like ?!?! is that real and the nerd that I am I always go into a whole lecture about it lmao
I loved her repeatedly getting away with referring to the official seal of the holy University, as its "logo" - hilarious!
We should sue them just for fun-
If it is true that they removed "Hebrew" or "Jewish" from a cafeteria dish name based on students protest, then the students should then petition the school to remove the Hebrew from the logo. That is the woke, victim, marginalized, DEI, bleeding heart way these days.
But that logo is much older than Israel.
@@ratulxy The logo is older than the state of Israel, but it's not older than Jewish culture. And, this video was about cultural appropriation. Not national appropriation. Thus, your comment is irrelevant.
@@neilmanhard1341 yeah! I kind of don't care. If anything, I agree that they should remove the hebrew coat of arms and use something better.
@@neilmanhard1341How about Isreal give back all the foreign aid they have been appropriating.

That's beautiful ❤

Dartmouth has "kol korei bamidbar" in Hebrew on its college "logo."
This would have been a classic Harvard Lampoon stunt, if Harvard still admitted students who saw humor in cultural property claims.
One of their best old-timey Lampoon stunts was in 1921 or 1923 when they stole part of the Old Yale Senior Fence upon which the Captains of the Football team would pose for their team picture and had their elderly janitor, Robert "Lampoon" Steward pose in his kilt on it for a photo in their gameday magazine program. Another was around 1925 when they kidnapped their bulldog mascot (usually named "Handsome Dan (with a Roman numeral after it as each offspring dog kept the name) and photographed it licking the foot of the bronze John Harvard statue in front of University Hall (after putting dogfood on it).
“We are a stupid university” 😂🤣😂🤣 oh… if only they would choose that 😂🤣
I Yale'd since I laughed so hard! That was hilarious!
shlufim is the best. I wanna start a university with a logo that says shlufim. hopefully students wouldn't pass shlifim during tests
Best prank call ever ! Well done
“We are stupid” 😂 👍
Yale students did prank Harvard football fans about a decade ago by posing as a fictitious "cheer spirit squad" and handed out selected colored cards for the fans to hold up as a card stunt at the appropriate time telling them it was going to say "Go Harvard" or something to that effect but it really said "WE SUCK!" and the Yale fans were rolling in their seats in laughter. Then a few years later some Harvard students posing as Yale student tour guides showed a bunch of prospective high school students around with their parents showing where most students get murdered and never ceasing pointing out "gothic architecture".... and the group did not even batt an eyelash!!! Both pranks are on youtube.
This is pure gold!
The best convo ever😂😂😂
Coughing to disguise laughing
I am at Yale university now on a tour with my cousin's...watching this again😅
This is absolute gold!

Brilliant!
I would have loved to hear the conversation she later had with her boss ....
It's a sad testament to American society that not only is this nonsense taken seriously, but the poor lass was probably fearing for her job.
There's something rotten in the United States.
The secretary was very very nice and pleasant. I am a religious Jew and she did a great job. The Israeli couscous thing was some idiot in the dining halls. This lady was very professional. It was a bit too far to push this on such a pleasant person. And thats not the right meaning either. Dont shame the secretary in the comments. Gd does not allow us to embarass others nor to gossip about them. These are two commandments in the Torah/Bible.
no one is shaming the secretary, just the university itself.
The secretary was super nice =)
Wish her find better boss.
