Shtisel, Shiva and Donny Oy Vey!

The Bagel Report

What do shivas and b’nai mitzvah have in common? Bagels, of course, and this week, it’s the new films “Shiva Baby” and “Donny’s Bar Mitzvah” that are getting The Bagel Report treatment. While one film is subtle and intense, the other takes caricature to 11. The Bagels review them both and reflect on their own b’nai mitzvah and shiva experiences. Esther wants more character and content and less caricature, while Erin looks back on her Detroit-area bat mitzvah years with nostalgia and horror. Plus, the pair reflect on their Passover experiences, talk about the popularity of the “‘Schitt’s Creek’ Haggadah” and get into some “Shtisel,” which Erin still can’t sit down and watch.
