The Israeli sketch comedy show Hayehudim Baim skewers many elements of Jewish and Israeli history, and its satirical, secular, liberal readings of biblical figures and religious practices have created political controversy. Yet despite its apparently progressive take on Jewish history and Israeli culture, the show's use of drag as a central feature of its satire reveals certain practical and ideological lapses in its treatment of gender norms. A series of sketches about the biblical matriarchs Rachel and Leah, both married to the patriarch Jacob, demonstrates the limits of the show's ability to engage in a progressive critique without resorting to regressive notions of gender and sexuality deeply embedded in Zionist ideology.

以色列小品喜剧节目Hayehudim Baim 串起了犹太和以色列历史的许多元素，其对圣经人物和宗教习俗的讽刺、世俗、自由的解读引发了政治争议。然而，尽管它显然对犹太历史和以色列文化采取了进步的态度，但该节目将变装作为其讽刺的核心特征，揭示了其在处理性别规范方面的某些实际和意识形态失误。一系列关于与族长雅各布结婚的圣经女族长雷切尔和利亚的素描展示了该节目在不诉诸犹太复国主义意识形态中根深蒂固的性别和性观念的倒退概念的情况下进行进步批评的能力的局限性。
