דער קערפער פֿון השם"Fans of the long-running game show #FamilyFeud #Canada may have caught the Bernstein family appearing as contestants last week. The five family members—who all live around #RichmondHill and #Oshawa—taped their episodes back in August at #CBC headquarters in #Toronto, but had to keep their appearances a secret until the episodes aired.
In an interview with The CJN’s #NorthStarpodcast, two of the family members reveal how proud they were to represent #Judaism on the small screen—bantering in #Yiddish with comic host #GerryDee—even though their episodes ended up airing during difficult times. The family watched themselves on #TV last week, shortly after losing patriarch Nat Bernstein, 101, in #Montreal. And while the timing around #Hanukkah was convenient for celebration (especially given how much gelt they won), the #terrorattack at #BondiBeach in #Australia cast a pall over their excitement."
