Join Jacob Cromwell and Minnah Stein as they watch Jewish movies, new and old, to create a Canon of 10 Jewish films that reflect a diverse and modern Jewish life in America. As film lovers they are familiar with the classic list (AFI, Sight & Sound) but want to create a list more representative of their experiences and generation. Every week they discuss films with Jewish themes, actors, settings, and filmmakers and ask the question, "does this belong in the canon?"
