The Marvelous Men of ‘Maisel’
Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has taken our country by storm. It tells the story of Miriam, an aspiring comedian from an affluent Jewish Family in 1960s New York. Along the way, ‘Maisel’ offers hilarious insights into family life and identity. We will examine several scenes from the show alongside Jewish wisdom as we ask: what does ‘Maisel’ reflect about being a man? A husband? A father? A business owner? A mensch?
Israel’s Pivotal Election:
Leading Candidates, Key Issues, and the Future of the Jewish State
