  • Tiffilin

    Sounds like a nice opportunity to try to get him to put on Tiffilin.

    Maybe thatโ€™s the real reason why they choose the shoot in Crown Heights.

    woody is great… who can forget kirsti alley in deconstructing harry making a brocha with all proper kavanos.. “borei pri ha….”

  • IMMORALITY

    After learning of the nature of the scenes they are filming here, and why they need an Orthodox Jewish – looking home, I am forced to wonder if Mr. Wuench is aware of its content.
    I will give him the benefit of the doubt, assuming that he is not merely motivated by material gain.

    “Everything You Wanted to Know About Yiddishkeit, But Were Afraid To Ask” Let that be Woody’s new film.

  • let-s all daven

    that woody ie allan stewart konisberg should have a big refuah shlaimah.looking at his life choices,he obviously needs one.

  • no biggie but I am curious!

    Why was he here? And why Wuench’s house? Do they rent it out for movies?

  • josh

    I agree with #16 G-d bless Woody Allen he should have a long and prosperous life and we should all Merritt to see the redemption and dance together with Woody Allen and all the Jews amen

  • Be careful how you judge, Gd will judge

    you with that same measure!

    One can only see in the dark when there is light.

  • Naive you all are!

    I WILL NEVER WISH HIM ANYTHING GOOD.He is the worst chilul H’ there is and I am amazed by the ignorace here. Yes I know who he is in the world of movies. He is a pro palestinaian idiot and if I were there,I would spit in his face without a problem.Since many of you are so sheltered I cannot blame you.Take a look at his bio.He hates being Jewish!!!!!Go see who he married when he was with his girlfriend

    Number 22, thanks for eyeopener. I knew he sided with Palestinians like the unHonourable Stinking Jimmy Carter, but I had no clue he was a self hating Jew. Ok so let Woodie Allen Rot in H along with all other Bollywood stinkers.

  • you hypocrites...not the site

    23 ….. easy tiger…. the rest of you…. look at number 1’s post… you all are a bunch of hypocrites except for post number 1. go put tefillin on the man and invite him for Shabbos…

    S’dacht zach mir that a few years back John Turturro had a meeting with some of the Hanholeh of Tomchei Tmimim on Ocean Parkway because he was in the early stages of working on a movie, and he needed to consult about some Jewish matters. It’s nice to see that R’ John repaid the favor by gracing our neighborhood with the shooting of a scene, especially one that features Rav Allan Konigsberg SHLIT”A.

  • Another Warped Film

    From the director’s life story and the location he’s chosen- of all places- for the filming, I strongly suspect this movie will feature some dysfunctional tidbits about religious Jews that have nothing to do with reality and everything to do with the fantasies of the disillusioned and the dissatisfied. Hey, if they’re so fascinated by us and so lacking in a life of their own, why don’t they become religious?.. I think the poor guy badly wants to be mekarev’ed.

    if he is pro palestinian, then go picket outside the house during the film! but show him love… the only reason any Yid is pro palestinian is lack of education and ahavas yisroel growing up… here’s an opportunity.
