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 Netflix limited series ‘Inventing Anna’ is a stylish and slick version of the true story of Anna Sorokin, aka Anna Delvey, a conwoman who pretended to be a German heiress in order to swindle New York’s elite on her way to fame and fortune. The show raises provocative questions about the roles of xenophobia, misogyny, and racism in a culture that prizes fame and fortune above all, even truth and justice. Join us as our resident VIPs Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky dig deep into these questions from a Jewish perspective.
