Join us as we watch film and TV clips from across the decades and unpack the ways Jewish stories are told, and sometimes left untold, on screen.

From obvious Jewish characters to the ones everyone seems to know are Jewish, movies and television are full of clues about how our culture understands Jewish identity. Together, we’ll explore changing portrayals across generations, the stereotypes and symbols that signal “Jewishness,” and what happens when Jewish identity is explicit, implied, or missing altogether.

All are welcome, and you don’t need to have seen any of the movies or shows ahead of time. We provide the clips, you provide the questions, and we’ll have plenty of lively discussion.
