Tevye said, " A bird may love a fish, but where would they live"? I can't believe Hot Rabbi would give up his pulpit. Joanne is afraid of the unknown. Hot Rabbi needs to sit down with her and tell her what converting to Judaism really means. Explain the classes, the mikvah, the traditions they will practice together. Many of the Jewish women are far too stereotyped. Even the usually excellent Tovah Feldshuh was too over-the-top. I did love her house and clothing though. Elegant and beautiful.

I disliked a lot of things about this show. I’m 6 episodes in so there’s hope?! The character of Esther and the Jewish moms perpetuate a very negative stereotype of Jewish women. I wish it was 5 years ago because perhaps I’d be able to laugh more but now it feels careless. Not all Jewish women are “headstrong bitches” per the Hey Alma discussion and this makes it feel like Jewish women are all like this and out to get the non Jewish blonde in the room. So one dimensional
