“Star Mitzvah” begins with the ancient Jewish tradition of a mother curating photos for her son's bar mitzvah montage — and only gets better from there.
That is one of my favourite tv moments of all time, and my second favourite moment from that show (my first will always be the episode where Niles cuts his finger and keeps passing out).
One of the best things about this episode is that it does not fall into the "I thought I wanted a party, but now I realize it's more" trope. That it treats the ritual and Judaism with respect is to be celebrated (although the scene in Mrs. Moskowitz is pure comedy gold).
yes! i love that too. the jewish jokes in 'moskowitz' are more stereotypical, but then again, it makes sense for the context of them pretending to be jewish that they could only fall back on stereotypes.

And that Martin is "Jewish" even without trying.
She belongs to my cousin’s LA synagogue
Perfect episode and the best Jewish TV
I love Lilith. And Noel’s ‘revenge’ on Frasier. Totally Fantastic. Of course, Jane Leves is Jewish too
wait, Jane Leeves is Jewish?! where did you see this??
