By Joel Samberg

Film by film, from Avalon to Zelig, he brings outstanding musicals, adventures, love stories, heartbreakers, and biblical epics to life, offering witty comparisons, discerning criticisms, and refreshing insights into old themes.

There are sidebars that provide entree into the minds of the studio heads, writers, directors, and stars who gave Jewish movies their life. Brimming with Joel Samberg's infectious enthusiasm and delightful humor, this is a passionate celebration of the Jewish presence both on the screen and behind the scenes. Whether you are a serious film buff or someone who simply likes to escape once in a while into the magical world of movies, this volume will take you on a joyful cinematic ride.
