The Twins From France

The existence of two twenty-something French twins who happen to be both acrobat street performers and Chabad Lubavitch chassidim is not something I can make up!  Yaakov and Yisroel Gourion, who are known simply as "The Twins From France" are quite impressive and certainly not the image of a book-entrenched chassid that some people hold as the stereotype.

All you have to do is check them out.  Here is Yaakov Gourion's wedding last spring.




And here they are tasting wine.
Nice job on the traditional bottle dance.
Used as a dessert wine, their sponsor, Jeunesse, is a nice choice.  Otherwise I find this wine way too sweet.



And here's an insider's look at how they made their Twins playing cards, which reminds me of the times Mr. Roger's Neighborhood visited factories.




Yes, these guys are for real!

A far cry from the theatrics at Karma Wash...
