Recenzii
Anyone who thinks that Jewish characters and themes don't get a look in on TV will probably change their mind after reading Over The Top Judaism, a new book which takes a detailed look at how the small screen has treated Jewish issues over the decades, and how the portrayal of Jews on TV has changed.
Elliot Gertel has presented a well-written and very readable book that goes beyond the interests of film and TV buffs. It is a reflection of our culture's response to the "others" in society and how they are presented to the general public. The author's approach to sensitive Jewish issues make it an excellent source book for both synagogue discussion groups and interfaith dialogues.
This very interesting book well research, well written, and quite readable. It will find a place in many popular culture and communication courses.
Why is it importantly to have a book like this? Because more people go to movies and watch the television in one week than listen to all the sermons of all the rabbis combined in one decade. And therefore, we need to understand and to respond to the image of Jews and image of Judaism that these films foster...Rabbi Gertel is eminently fair.
