The opening as it read in 2025
Hahamishia Hakamerit ( Hebrew : החמישייה הקאמרית , lit. ' The Chamber Quintet ' ) was a weekly Israeli satirical sketch comedy television program created by Asaf Tzipor [ he ] , who was also the main writer of the show, and Eitan Tzur [ he ] , who directed the entire run of the show. Hahamishia Hakamerit was broadcast on Israeli Channel 2 and Channel 1 in the years 1993 - 1997 . Later on, reruns of the show were broadcast on the cable channel Bip . The show's often surreal skits were characterized by a satirical point of view which did not spare the audience sensitive subjects such as politics, national security, the Holocaust and sex. One such skit, titled " Yigal Amir ’s monologue", showed the assassin of Yitzhak Rabin in a prison cell talk about how in 20 years he will be granted clemency by the government due to the "times being rough for Israeli society" and also mentioned him causing Eitan Haber to have a heart attack after he called him a "murderer!". The skit has remained polarising, and was only filmed a week after Rabin’s assassination , and aired only two years after it in 1997. Another characteristic of the show's sketches was that occasionally they had an unclear point or punch line . Following the success of the show, similar sketch comedy programs were produced on Israeli television. Unlike Hahamishia Hakamerit ' s humor, which was considered at the time to be blatant, insensible, full of black humor and cynicism, these subsequent shows followed a line much closer to the Israeli-Jewish mainstream.
