I don't recall any explicit references to Max Black being Jewish; the Bat Mitzvah girl on SITC was a cringey offensive stereotype. I don't recall any favorable or attractive portrayal of young Jewish women on SITC all together

In the "And the Kosher Cupcakes" episodes, Max says "I don't know a lot about my background, I might not be Jewish," which means she could be?? At least the Jewish women in the episode are all convinced she is.

And it might be she wanted to convince the idiotic stereotypical Jewish that she might be ( can you guess its not one of my favorite shows)? I do like the actress though- she was good on 40 Year Old Virgin as well.

Hahah fair!!! It’s not one of my favorite shows either! But Kat is great, I love her in Dollface and 40 Year Old Virgin too!

So the very few Jewish story lines on TV we have a 13 year old Bat Mitzvah girl who is rich, conceited, spoiled and arrogant. I wonder how it went over with middle America who thinks it's an accurate portrayal of Jews!

The best part of the first season of AJLT was Rabbi Jen. I would have watched a spinoff of just her! Luckily for me, I never went back for season 2, although a friend kindly screenshots the fashion (bad and good) for me to comment on.
