Hollywood has been incorporating Jewish rituals into both television and movies for more than a century—sometimes as kitsch, sometimes as an ethnic flourish, sometimes for dramatic effect, and sometimes even as comedy. In this multimedia presentation, we'll look at a number of the most fascinating examples and discuss trends in representation, whether the rituals get botched, and—most importantly—the function of these foreign-language prayers in American entertainment.
