The Hebrew Hammer is a 2003 "Jewsploitation'' comedy film, written and directed by Jonathan Kesselman.Damien (Andy Dick), the evil son of Santa Claus, murders his father to continue his grandfather's (the previous Santa Claus, seen in the prologue) scheme to eliminate all December holidays save Christmas. When the Jewish Justice League gets wind of this fiendish plot, they start looking for one of their own to fight for their right to light their menorahs. The JJL Chief, Bloominbergensteinanthal (Peter Coyote), reluctantly agrees that their one hope is the one hebe too radical even for them: Mordechai Jefferson Carver (Adam Goldberg), the Hebrew Hammer.The Chief's daughter, Esther (Judy Greer), convinces the Hammer to take up the cause. What follows is a hilarious walk through Jewish culture, playing with Jewish stereotypes, and saving Hanukkah for everyone.Plans for a sequel, in which "the baddest Heeb this side of Tel Aviv" is to face off with no less than Adolf Hitler, are currently in Development Hell.Not to be confused with the other Hebrew Hammer. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| The Hebrew Hammer / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "The Hebrew Hammer" evokes the image of Judah Maccabee, aka "Judah the Hammer," who led the Jewish rebellion against the Seleucid Empire, the event that Hanukkah commemorates. His adversary Damien Claus is very similar to Antiochus Epiphanes of the Seleucids, who was likewise the power-hungry son of a more benevolent leader, prone to targeting Jews and trying to outlaw their customs and practices. An evil son named Damien. A woman named Esther, with the help of a man named Mordechai, tries to foil a tyrant's plot against Jews? Sounds familiar. Lampshaded with Mrs. Carver mentioning Purim when Esther says her name. | |

Rule of Funny | |
| The Hebrew Hammer / int_a60e3252 | comment |
Rule of Funny: Why would a Neo-Nazi bar have even a single bottle of kosher wine, no matter how neglected? To set up a joke.note Gentiles have been known to like kosher wine for its sweetness and affordability, but generally it's Mogen David, not Manischewitz | |

Private Eye Monologue: The Hammer gives one as Esther walks into his office, but it turns out to be a tape recorder on the desk. And it seems to segue into a sex tape. | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
| The Hebrew Hammer / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: When a young Mordechai enters Saint Peter, Paul, and Mary public elementary school, he is instantly bullied by a trio of children who make jokes about money, bagels, and big noses. But when a girl walks up and says her mom said his people will burn in hell if they don't accept Jesus, they were shocked by such blatant Antisemitism. | |

True Meaning of Christmas: Subverted at the story's climax. Mordechai tells Damien that his mistake was that he didn't understand the true meaning of Hanukkah. But when the obvious follow-up question is asked, Mordechai and Esther struggle to come up with an explanation of what the true meaning of the holiday is, exactly, not getting much beyond dreidels and latkes. | |
