Let Them All Talk: With Special Guest Malina Saval

[additional-authors]
February 5, 2021
The Bagel Report

Proud Bostonian and all-around-rockstar Variety Features Editor Malina Saval joins the Bagels for a deep dive into Jewish representation and how our names and our accents mark us. It’s not just where we’re from but possibly who we become. Is the “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” full of caricatures? What does it mean to “look Jewish”? And why “Let Them All Talk” is a deeply Jewish — and pandemic-relatable — film, even though it features non-Jewish women on a cruise. Plus, we’ll brainstorm some storylines for the upcoming “Sex and the City” reboot, and discuss why Boston accents are hard to pull off and which actor nailed it best.

AIPAC and Israel Are Good for America

Emphasizing Israel’s value to America must become a community-wide effort. From the ADL to the AJC to the Federation system to Hillel and every pro-Israel activist group in the country, the collective priority must be to strengthen the U.S.—Israeli relationship.
