How to Be a Jew … Like Lisa Edelstein
Actor and artist Lisa Edelstein joins us to talk about her latest, very Jewy exhibition of paintings inspired by family photos
Lisa Edelstein has always been a woman of many hats, from ’80s “it” girl, to acting in shows like House, and painting.
She joins us to talk about her latest exhibition, Dance Me to the End of the World, and how the paintings are so …. Jewish. We also talk about how her Judaism has affected the rest of her career, and how 10/7 impacted her work and relationships.
Hosted by Courtney Hazlett, Rabbi Diana Fersko, and Josh Kross, each episode of How to Be a Jew takes a look at a current, cultural topic and what it means for us as Jews, and how we react to it because we are Jews.
