The People's Democratic Republic of Not The Gala

Not the Gala was founded in 2010 by a group of people who had escaped the Limmud insane asylum. Since then we have regaled audiences with our unique blend of lack of talent and irreverence for all things Jewish and Limmud. Get in touch to join our merry band.
