Select ANY television episode or series or fictional movie where Judaism is frequently referenced or includes Jewish character(s). For example…
In the TV sitcom series Seinfeld, the main character, Jerry, is Jewish and references to Judaism are often made in the show.
In the sixth season of Sex and the City, character Charlotte converts to Judaism.
In 2020, the satiric movie, Jojo Rabbit, was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. It didn’t win, but it was one of my favorites of the year!! The entire movie is based around Germany, Hitler, Jews, and stereotypes.
Netflix has a mini-series called Unorthodox, based an the life of a Hasidic woman. SUCH an eye-opening show and book!
For more examples, check out: Next, provide a well-developed paragraph, stating the series/movie name and plot summary of the episode, series, or movie. *Remember to provide a Works Cited source citation to the the episode, series, or movie so I can view it, too. Also include a link (if possible).
Give several examples of where Judaism is referenced, shown, or talked about in the show. (NO sources other than the show should be used.)
MOST IMPORTANTLY, state whether or not the Jewish characters actions, appearance, lifestyle, community, history, location, or Judaism religion itself are portrayed accurately. Or are they stereotypes? Connect to what you have learned from the text, videos, and readings. (Again, no additional sources are needed. I want to know what YOU can identify).
Conclude with a thumps up or thumbs down for accurate portrayal of Judaism.
