The Bagel Report

How long has this pandemic been? This week we’re giving a big Shofar Wave to 5780 as it exits the building, reviewing some Jewy TV highlights and disappointments in time for the Emmy Awards, and considering new Oscar inclusion/diversity guidelines and how to apply them in other areas of life. Plus, loving the honesty and humor of “Big Mouth,” appreciating Tiffany Haddish’s love for Judaism, delighting in more Mandy Patinkin, and appreciating the philosophy education we got from “The Good Place.” And Rosh Hashanah reflections as the Bagels think about 5781 and wish you a Shanah Tovah.
