Evidence that Jews do not run Hollywood
I have written that The Goldbergs (a show we love and watch regularly) struggles with how explicitly Jewish it wants to be. This week's Christmas-themed episode might have been its most Jewish. It showed gifts wrapped with blue-and-white paper with Stars of David; visible Happy Chanukah bunting; and a Menorah with candles. Best of all, it showed Beverly lighting first-night candles.
Then she blew them out.Posted by Howard Wasserman on December 12, 2019 at 07:29 PM in Culture, Howard Wasserman, Television | Permalink

ha ha - i need to see this episode - how is possible they let that happen? is it intentionally mocking american secular jews for being ignorant of the meaning of the traditions?
