I enjoyed your thoughtful and well reasoned response to this series which I found cringe worthy and largely unlikable. As an American Jew, I found the series to be vaguely anti-semitic and preposterous. Bell's character, an approximately 40-something who does not k ow what Shalom means and does not know that prosciutto is pork is emblematic of the shows breezy stupidity and contrived ignorance. The depiction of Jewish women is insulting and only feeds stereotypes. The "hot rabbi" conceit is juvenile at best.
