We open on two guys looking under a car hood, each without a clue as to what mechanical malfunction has stricken their vehicle. We hear the engine trying to start but something’s not right. “Is that the, a…,?” says one gent to the other.
“I don’t know.”
The original man observes that there’s “supposed to be something” over there, somewhere in the engine compartment.
A gal then appears who presumably was turning the key in the ignition. She wonder why the two guys are looking inside the vehicle’s trunk.
A supered message then comes on screen, noting that these men aren’t very “mechanical-ish,” and then asking viewers a question in the form of a website address: whatsyourish.com.
Each “ish” definition generates a 25 cent donation to the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA).
Josh Miller of Little Minx directed this and three other spots in the JFNA campaign for agency Taxi, New York.
Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."

Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
