Circumcise Me is a 2008 biographical film about the American-born Israeli comedian Yisrael Campbell.^[1] It was produced by Matthew Kalman, foreign news correspondent in Jerusalem for USA Today, Canada's Globe & Mail and other newspapers, and David Blumenfeld, an Israel-based photographer who has photographed for Time, Newsweek and other publications.^[1]

The film, originally screened under the title It's Not in Heaven: The Comedy of Yisrael Campbell,^[2] is about a Catholic convert to Judaism who has become a stand-up comedy star in Israel.
