Enchanted by ‘Encanto’

Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.

The new Disney animated feature ‘Encanto’, now streaming on Disney+, has become a sleeper hit. If you have young children — and, let’s be honest, even if you don’t — you are probably listening to the soundtrack on loop. And for good reason. ‘Encanto’ is a charming story featuring gorgeous animation, an all-Latinx cast, and music that absolutely slaps. It also explores meaningful themes like family and individuality, tradition and change, discovering your gifts and embracing your limits. Join Rabbis Knopf & Olitzky as they most definitely talk about Bruno — and everything else ‘Encanto’ — on this enchanting episode of PopTorah.
