Etgar Keret was scheduled to appear at the London Jewish community center — the JW3 — with celebrity chef Yotam Ottolenghi and star Guardian columnist (and novelist) Jonathan Freedland.
Due to an accident he couldn’t attend the event on October 13 in person, so he sent this charming video and cheekily stole the evening.

We're building on 127 years of independent journalism to help you develop deeper connections to what it means to be Jewish today.
With so much at stake for the Jewish people right now — war, rising antisemitism, a high-stakes U.S. presidential election — American Jews depend on the Forward's perspective, integrity and courage.
