Verplanck



Verplanck is a web drama-comedy series created by Moshe Bree and Mechel Leiber. Described as “the only kosher comedy series on the web,” it follows the exploits of four protagonists — Mitch, Avi, Feishy, and Yechiel Michel Rephoel Menachem (or YMRM) — as they set out to create a new Jewish community in the eponymous village in New York.

Created in late 2011 with the intent of providing an entertaining series with a positive message to the Orthodox Jewish world, Verplanck has received enthusiastic responses from viewers. In an interview, co-creator Mechel Leiber described the show’s overall theme as being about bringing together all types of Jews to build a community.

Verplanck is filmed in a mockumentary style and stars Dovi Grossman (Mitch), Shuly Leiber (Avi), Yoely Stauber (Feishy), and Mayer Waxman (YMRM).
