I’m Afraid to Speak
I have written over the past few days draft after draft of an article for this site. But my hand hovers over the publish button. And fails. I cannot. We Jews say in private what we do not say in public. In public every word...

My Hapless steps towards a fairer, funnier view of British Jews
My sitcom Hapless series two launched on Prime last Monday. It again stars Tim Downie as an overly truth-seeking obsessive journalist for a fictitious paper The Jewish Enquirer. Early on in the post-production process I asked two critics, the lead (non-Jewish) TV reviewers at the...
