There’s a lot of glorious reasons to watch the new episode of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”

1) Patti LuPone will be making an appearance as Rachel Bloom’s rabbi.

2) The two will dance the hora together.

3) LuPone sings a whole guilt-inducing song about the Jews and suffering, accompanied by Tovah Feldshuh, who plays Bloom’s mother.

Sample lyrics:

Now it’s time to celebrate

Grab a drink and fix a plate

But before you feel too great

Remember that we suffered
