"THE MEDIUM-SIZED EVENT" CANCELED

In an effort to better his image within the young At Risk Community, Abish Brodt has buckled to pressure from a group of leading "cool" teenagers and backed out of a Kumzitz scheduled for this Friday night in the basement of Rav Kleinmers shul on 52nd Street in Boro Park. In an exclusive interview with Hockberry, Abish disclosed his new stance that he would only be singing songs with a goyish origin from now on in order to better his secular image. "People just think of me as the frum guy who sings Moida Ani at the Siyum Hashas" he lamented. "I'm Hip. I've almost got all the words to Numa Numa by heart" It appears as if Abish has been hanging out more often with a younger crowd and has been influenced by a leading pizza shop worker in an attempt to improve his inner shaygitz.
There has been a backlash from members of Rav Kleinmers and many wonder what will happen to the scheduled Kumzitz. A tray of kugel and a case of Ber Mayim Chayim has been ordered from Meal Mart and it still unclear if it can be refunded. Aside from the monetary issues, many people remain concerned as to where the 70-80 year old congregants will be left to hang out. "These guys need an outlet" said Shira Wortner a grandaughter of one of Abish's dedicated fans. "If Abish backs out and the Kumzitz is cancelled they will be forced to listen to their Frank Sinatra LPs"
There has been no word yet on if Ben-Zion Shenker will back out as well. Please see the shul bulletin board for more info or stay tuned to Hockberry.com for the latest on the ongoing controversy.
