I think he is his son? He is from the famous Estulin, Mishulovin, etc, class:

Wo! talk about identity issues. On the williamsburg walking tour he claims to 'come from this community as do his parents?!' And what's with the hipster lisp and lingo? A long way from OT yinglish.

lipovitzer, I also listened to the "Audio sample" and it is pretty amazing. He is in Williamsburg but he uses Chabad music and metaphors. He should have done a CH tour.

It is and has been for awhile. :)
My point, which admittedly I did not make clear, was that the names correspond perfectly to the movie plot:
"a tragic comedy about two quarrelsome Hasidic men, Mendel and Yossel"...
