Allison Josephs | Founder & Executive Director of "Jew in the City" Previews JITC 3rd Jewish Media Awards at Lincoln Center · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Alison Joseph's been a friend of mine for many, many years.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: She's known as Jew in the City. I love that.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: This was years ago, way before October 7th, when she
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: became famous with that moniker. She invited me to a big,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: big night years ago. in Lincoln Center, where they honored
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of Jews. You know who they honored
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that night, actually, Lewis? It's coming back to me. I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: think they honored Dov Kramer.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: WFAN. Really?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: They got rid of him since, the fan, but they
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: say he resigned, but I think they got rid of him.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I think he was the longest tenured guy at FAN.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: He was.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: He was. He was there before me.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: He writes for this publication, Torah, he used to ask
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: me for quotes, but you honored him.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: That night, didn't you?
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: We did.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's good to see you. Are you still
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Jew in the city?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Still Jew in the city, but now we have repurposed
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: JITC to also mean the Jewish Institute for Television and Cinema.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You're into this whole thing with Hollywood, and I'm in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: an Amazon Prime series right now, but I don't play
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a Jew, I play a mob guy.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: It's season three, and I played a mob guy.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: For two seasons. Every role I've done, two movies, two
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: TV shows, I've played an Italian. I've never played a Jew.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I am a Jew. But you're doing a lot of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: stuff with the Jewish people, and the lack of recognition,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I guess, they get in Hollywood.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is that Hollywood obviously has always been Jewish.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The question is, what type of Jewish identity do we
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: bring to Hollywood? And the founders started it because they
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: were running from anti-Semitism. And there was this sense 100
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: years ago that if you erase your identity, you hide,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you mock it, then maybe you'll be accepted more into
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Gentile culture.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: They had no idea that anti-Semitism was the actual motivation
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: behind all this.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: They could not get into industries that were considered highfalutin
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: back east, you know, publishing and real estate, all different. They,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you know, they had to make Jewish hospitals, Jewish law firms,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: because all of the institutions, just like we're seeing today,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Jews getting marginalized from larger institutions, universities, different companies. That
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: was happening 100 years ago. Then we were too ethnic.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Now we're too white. It's the same thing, different side
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: of the coin. So they went out West and they
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: made an empire of their own, which is what the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: famous book about Jewish Hollywood is called.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: But when they went out there.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: They didn't bring Jewish pride. They brought a little bit
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of that shame, internalized shame and hatred, and sort of
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that sense of how the anti-Semites saw them. And they
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: changed their names and they told stories of assimilation. The
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: first talkie film that The Warner Brothers put to sound,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the first time they put sound on a film was
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: The Jazz Singer. It was about the Cantor's son leaving
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the fold, marrying Mary.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: And becoming American.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Great movie.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Neil Diamond and Sir Lawrence Olivier.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: They released it on Yom Kippur.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They said that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: They released it on Yom Kippur.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, they did release it on Yom Kippur.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So because there's a lot of older Jewish actors that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: changed their names. For example, Tony Randall, who was in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: The Odd Couple. His last name is Rosenberg. Did you
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: know that?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Tony Randall.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Did you know the last name of Tony Curtis, who
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: comes off like one of the biggest Italian actors ever?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe his last name was Schwartz.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So for years they've been doing that out there in Hollywood.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was basically how Hollywood started.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And so the thing is that 100 years ago, All
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: different groups, I think, were trying to blend in and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: be a little bit less of their identity. We have
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: this movement now and Hollywood is at the forefront. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: this is sort of a thing where when you get
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: into politics, obviously, there's a lot of areas where the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: right and the left disagrees. This is where I think
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: there could be a universal agreement because Hollywood is obviously
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: very to the left. What about just like, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: having dignity and humanity for different types of people? And
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with the villainization of white people. I
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: think that's a problem, too. Whites are Christians. There's only
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a few groups left that you're kind of allowed to vilify.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Every other group at this point has this pride and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: diversity in.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Their storytelling and not Jews.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So we went to Hollywood in 2021 after learning that
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: every other minority group had been advocating for decades. They
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: do trainings. They do research. They have culturally competent consultants.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And then they do media awards once a year to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: celebrate the studios that are doing a nice job.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Media awards, these other groups. But now you're doing that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: We're doing that now for the Jews.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So just to tell you how late we are to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: this game, the NAACP Image Awards are in their 57th year.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: The GLAAD Media Awards are in their 37th year. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the JITC Jewish Media Awards are in our third year.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Only third year. And you're the person behind all this, right?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: We are the people behind it. It's a little bit gutsy.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And a lot of people have kind of been like,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: why you? And what I will tell you is that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: if I looked at Orthodox female representation in Hollywood to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: learn how to behave as an Orthodox woman.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: I would stay quiet. I would be meek.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: But because I looked into my own tradition and I
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: saw women who had voices and power, like Queen Esther,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: who decided to go up against the Persian Empire. Why?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Because when you're a Jew, you know it's you against
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the world and you do it anyway.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Hold on a second, though. Let's have an honest conversation, OK?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Because right now you aren't an Orthodox woman, OK? But
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: there was a time you were not Orthodox. That's true.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: You were a little wild.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: I was never wild.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Ah, that's how I hear you. You were kind of wild. Like,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I got these cousins, right? And I'm not going to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: mention their names, but They'd be out in like Fire
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Island swinging, doing drugs, you know. And then all of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a sudden the next day, he's got a long beard,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: my cousin. She's got the wig on and they're hanging
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: out with the Lubavitch. And they're as religious as anybody
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you know. But they spent years doing all the things
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that the Torah tells you not to do. I'm not
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: saying you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Were like that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I ate bacon cheeseburgers. That was the extent of my wife.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I became religious when I was 17.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: So when you were 17. Yeah. So you gave up
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: bacon cheeseburgers.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I gave up a lot of things. But what I
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: will tell you.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: What do you miss most? What do you miss most?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've actually recreated a lot of the non-kosher
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: dishes from my childhood. And my husband was raised kosher,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: was raised Orthodox. And he thought at first that sounds
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: gross to have bacon or to have cheese. And I'm like, no,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I'll show you how it goes. And now he loves it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: My kids love it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: So there's so many. This is what I would tell you.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I used to suntan in bikinis on the beach.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: What I do now is we.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Find like private islands or like, you know, private beaches
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: within an island.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: What I do is find ways to take.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: All of the physical and material pleasures that I enjoyed
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: in as much as they can fit into Judaism and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: still be able to enjoy that peace. But at the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: end of the day, my soul is being filled with
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: something beyond what I had before.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So you are so happy. You could never imagine going
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: back to where you were before. You're happy being this
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: type of Jewish. You're wonderful.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I love you. You're happy in this, right?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You're happy.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Not only am I happy, you know, Let's talk about
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: anti-Semitism right now. I have a good friend from high
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: school who comes from a similar background than I do.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And she and I are both facing this hate now
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that the world is throwing at us. And it is
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: increasingly alarming and scary and isolating. And I said to her,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you know, she's a proud Jew and she loves her
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: people and she's committed.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Is she Orthodox too?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: She's not.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: She's Reform.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And she doesn't have the same Jewish knowledge and Torah
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: knowledge that I do because I began learning as I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: became observant. And I explained to her, I have a
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: context for where this hate comes from. And sort of
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: a place to turn to for a deeper meaning, because
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: in our tradition, we know that we have been hated
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: and we know that this is sort of the point
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of exile so that we don't lose our way and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we come together and we return to who we are.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And so to have that knowledge to give me strength
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in these challenging times.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: It's not only my day-to-day meaning.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It's that as the hatred of the world increases, I
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: turn deeper into my faith, into my traditions, in loving
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: my fellow Jew. And it gives me strength right now.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I would do with if I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: didn't have that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: God bless you. I love a lot of Jews. I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: don't love all of them. I kill them on this
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: show all the time. But that's me. That's not you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: This is Alison Joseph. She is the Jew in the city,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and she's a wonderful young lady. Adam Brody, why would
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: he do what he did? He's playing a rabbi. It's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a great show. I watched season one with my wife.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: We loved it, him and Kristen Bell. I will not
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: watch season two.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I won't do it. I won't do it. Why does
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Adam Brody, why do all.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: These Jewish people cave into the pressure of these morons
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: So I would say that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: If we look to Hollywood to be our moral compass,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: we're maybe looking for heroes in the wrong place.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: People don't go.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: To Hollywood because they necessarily are the most righteous of
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the world.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Good point.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: There are some good people within that group. And we
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: have some strong Jewish voices. who are standing up despite
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: all of the hatred.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Where the hell is Steven Spielberg?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, Adam Sandler's okay, I guess, but who are
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: these strong Jewish voices?
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: You have to understand, since October 7th, I'm looking for them.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm one of them, but I'm not really
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: an actor. I make B-movies. Who are these strong Jewish voices?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: So some of the presenters that are coming to our
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: awards are.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Well, tell me about this.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Deborah Messing has been outspoken since the very beginning.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's a good friend of mine now.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Yes, Deborah Messing.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Now, she hates Trump, and I can't stand that about her.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Can't stand it. But she was with me at Michael
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Rappaport's documentary, which you must see. It's amazing. His experience
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: since October 7th. Am I canceled yet? And we talked,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and we took pictures. And so I love her for
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: her Israel stance. But I can't love her fully because
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: she hates my president.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So this is the point that I was saying to
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you before we got on. We have to be big
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: tent at this point. We're not going to agree on everything.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: For me, the red.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Line is, are you with the Jewish people or are
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you not? We have Patricia Heaton, who is presenting at
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: our event. Again, we have some strong allies. Selma Blair
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: is presenting at our event.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: She's crazy.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: She has MS. It causes some issues.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: In the brain. Oh, come on. I like her.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: She's strong.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: She's strong on Israel. She is very strong on Israel.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: What I'm trying to say that in this moment, this
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: is life and death. My line is really, are you
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: with the Jews? Are you against the Jews?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: What about the Jews that are with Mamdani? How do
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you feel about them?
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: We've actually always had Jews that didn't stick with the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Jewish people. I learned that Turk Amada, the Grand Inquisitor
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: in Spain, was actually a Jew.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, he was.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows that the greatest movie ever, History of the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: World with Mel Brooks.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Talk him out of it. Don't you remember? Come on.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: The Inquisition. Have you ever seen that movie?
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I've saw it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: You look like the piss boy.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: That was Harvey Kerman.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Do you know where we see this actually? In the Seder.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: The Wicked Son.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: The Wicked Son in the Seder separates himself from his people.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And I always found that part of the Seder to
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: be a bit harsh.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: And then after this.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Whole post-October 7th Jews not standing with their people thing happened,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I realized these are the wicked sons.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: So it's deeply painful.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: But we're going to Lincoln Center on Thursday, November 5th,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to celebrate the Jews and the allies that are with us.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: You've got good people. You've got really good people.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: We have half a dozen studio sponsorships.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: We have HBO.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Max, Warner Brothers, Paramount, Disney, Fox, Sony. They are supporting us.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: They are showing up with their people. And we're going
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: to have this really fascinating mix of every type of Jew.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: We're honoring Kevin Bright, executive producer of Friends.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I told you that his partner was on this show
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago, David Fischhoff, who was Phil Simms' agent.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And they've done a movie together where they take kids
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: who survived October 7th. He has a rock and roll camp,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: David Fischhoff. And they bring them to the camp. and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Guns N' Roses, and I guess Black Sabbath, and all
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: these groups are there, and these kids get through their
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: most difficult times after October.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: 7th because of music.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yep, and Kevin Bright is a producer on that, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: he has had this beautiful long-standing relationship with his Chabad rabbi,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Kevin Bright is not Chabad. You know, Kevin's rabbi is
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: not a Hollywood producer director. But what they show in
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: their video that we're going to premiere there is that
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: you can love a Jew who does not live exactly
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: like you. We have The Pit as one of our honorees.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: We have Dancing with the Stars. They did this beautiful
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Hanukkah episode. We have Red Alert from Paramount. Did you
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: ever see Tehran on Apple TV? Is that a show
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you've seen?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Never saw that. Amazing.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Israeli Mossad agent.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, I saw it. Tehran, I saw it. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: So the creator of the show is flying in from Israel.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: So we have this star-studded lineup.
