Seinfeld's Jewish Messages
a Torah Tuesdays Class at Shabbos House 2/28/06
by Laura Novello ('07)

 

Laura Novello ('07) a Seinfeld enthusiast and Learning Night regular, carefully selected and edited four Jewishly-themed episodes from Seinfeld: (1) Circumcision and the over-reactive Mohel (2) The Rabbi Gossip (3) The Lobster Temptation (4) The Anti-Dentite.

Together with Rabbi Mendel she prepared an accompanying commentary booklet with texts from classic Jewish sources highlighting the themes of these episodes.
