Feeling a tad homesick, I subscribed to Acorn TV on Amazon to watch this Australian soap.
NYT: “Designed to satisfy your sprawling-period-saga hunger in the absence of “Downton Abbey,” this 1950s Australian melodrama is at four seasons and counting. It’s a solid, smart soap starring the ubiquitous (in Australia) Marta Dusseldorp as a woman who comes home after a liberating sojourn in Paris and has to reacclimate to the constraints of rural New South Wales. Illicit romance, noble suffering, the usual.”
The lead character is rejected by her mother for converting to Judaism. She later explains in a job interview that she is “Jewish by faith.” It’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. Jews are a tribe. We can pose as a religion if that’s what the goyim need to hear, and we can call ourselves a faith if we like, just as a man in modern America can call himself a woman.
Two episodes into the show and there’s no sign she’s remotely observant of Jewish law.
