Larry is asked to join a Minyan for a Shiva call but then things turn ugly.
Background to understand the jokes in this video:
Bill Buckner played 1st base for the Boston Red Sox. In game six of the 1986 World Series, the Red Sox were one out away from winning the championship against the NY Mets. After a wild pitch allowed the Mets to tie the game, Buckner committed one of the most infamous errors in sports history, letting the baseball roll between his legs consequently allowing the winning run to score. The NY Mets eventually won the following game as well, winning the World Series that year.
Sandy Koufax is remembered as one of the outstanding Jewish athletes in American sports. His decision to not pitch for the LA Dodgers in Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur garnered national attention as an example of conflict between social pressures and personal beliefs.
