Oh hey, this is actually relevant to me.

Honestly, I hate 90% of portrayals of Jews in the media. They usually only ever show somebody who has only one Jewish parent, and other than that, aren't Jewish in any significant way.

And I wish somebody would bother portraying some characters who are having adventures and shit and just happen to be Orthodox. I have adventures and shit. It's amazing.

I'm an ethnically Jewish atheist, but I actually know exactly where you're coming from. We see religious Christians and Muslims all the frickin' time, but never any religious Jews (unless it's The Chosen or some Israeli movie that's criticizing the Orthodox community).

I went to a Modern Orthodox dayschool, and was raised in a Conservative (as in the movement), traditional home that practiced kashrut. And I would love to see a fictional character that's an observant Jew -- Orthodox or otherwise -- with Judaism being an integral part of their identity. Because really, it's a frickin' fascinating religion, and I really like some of the ethical answers it has to offer...even if I don't think the source of those answers is actually Divine.

I don't think that people with only a Jewish father should be considered gentiles by default, but there is a subset of Jews that do believe that. (The OP, for example.) So why can't we have that addressed as a point of conflict once in a while?
