There’s a lot of glorious reasons to watch the new episode of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”
1) Patti LuPone will be making an appearance as Rachel Bloom’s rabbi.
2) The two will dance the hora together.
3) LuPone sings a whole guilt-inducing song about the Jews and suffering, accompanied by Tovah Feldshuh, who plays Bloom’s mother.
Sample lyrics:
Now it’s time to celebrate
Grab a drink and fix a plate
But before you feel too great
Remember that we suffered
