171. Should We Care About Jewface?

This week, Rivky and Uri talk about the concept of "Jewface," or when a non-Jewish actor plays a very Jewish role. This will often involve using stereotypical Jewish mannerisms, or even prosthetic noses, as is the case with Bradley Cooper in an upcoming movie about Jewish composer Leonard Bernstein. Do we have a problem with this? Is it antisemitic? Is this phenominon comparable to the more well know practice of Blackface?   Links: Ben and Jerry’s https://www.timesofisrael.com/ben-jerrys-seeks-injunction-against-parent-company-as-israel-legal-battle-goes-on/ https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/israeli-students-accuse-ben-jerrys-of-occupying-tribal-land/   Sarah Silverman Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewface-iron-dome-mr-mom/id1533130572?i=1000537086147 https://forward.com/culture/476527/does-sarah-silverman-actually-have-a-point-about-jewface/   Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein https://www.jta.org/2022/05/31/culture/netflix-releases-photos-of-bradley-cooper-wearing-prosthetic-nose-to-portray-leonard-bernstein-reigniting-jewish-representation-debate   Haaretz https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/2022-01-24/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/whats-offensive-its-the-idea-that-theres-such-thing-as-jewish-character-traits/0000017f-dc24-d3ff-a7ff-fda4bbc70000?lts=1660140547361   Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z3efR2Fu18
