“The Jews are Coming”
Synopsis: Just two months ago, “the Jews are Coming” caused such uproar in Israel, that individuals went out and protested against the show. In this episode, our speaker will explain why the series produced such criticism, and argue that rather than being a form of blasphemy, “the Jews are Coming” are a new form of the religious sermon.
