Stealing the show and the hearts of many (yes, mine too!) this morning in Jaffa were no other than Shaike (Yeshayahu Levi) and Gavri (Gavriel Banai) of HaGashash HaHiver<\/a>, the Israeli comedy troupe who define a class of their own, classic comedians with hilarious word-play, captivating stage presence and a sense of style, and they sing really well too! HaGashash (the name means “The Pale Tracker” in Hebrew) will receive the Ophir Lifetime Achievement Award for 2013. Sadly, the third member of this trio, Poli (Yisrael Poliakov, (1941 – 2007), is not here to share in this tribute.<\/p>\n
