From unscripted bingeworthy shows to nuanced dramas, Jewish writers and content creators are reclaiming and reshaping Jewish identity on-screen, and audiences are reacting to the increased Jewish representation with enthusiasm and worry, alternating between celebration and condemnation. What do we expect from on-screen Jewish representations of secular and religious Jews and their identities? Why is this happening now? How are creators hitting or missing the mark?
Join award-winning writer Esther D. Kustanowitz for an overview of the issues, the controversial portrayals and why this increase is “good for the Jews” and the world. Plus, celebrate a very TVGoneJewy Hanukkah with special content focusing on the Festival of Lights!
