Mayim Bialik is already a star on-screen — she was the title character in Blossom early on in her life and then continued her rise as Amy on The Big Bang Theory. She has been a longtime friend to Jew in the City and its founder, Allison Josephs. Now, Mayim is out with a new film called “As They Made Us,” which marks her writing and directorial debut and is loosely based on aspects of her own life. While there are so many negative representations of Jews on screen, Mayim’s new work is a refreshing look at how one can naturally weave in Jewish elements into a plot in a way that makes living a Jewish life one of normalcy, versus something more overt and negative or a faith one needs to run away from.

About Jew in The City:
Launched in 2007 by founder and executive director Allison Josephs, Jew in the City (JITC, a 501c3) has quickly grown to be a leading voice in this generation. It is the only nonprofit dedicated to changing negative perceptions of religious Jews and making engaging and meaningful Orthodox Judaism known and accessible. This is achieved by highlighting an approach based on kindness, tolerance, sincerity, and critical thinking.

Painful experiences within the Orthodox world, caused by dysfunction and ignorance have tarnished the opinions of a sizable minority of insiders who find themselves Jewishly displaced. These traumatic versions of Orthodoxy then get amplified in modern day media and entertainment without the much needed nuance they require. This results in a distorted public perception of Orthodox Jews and Judaism, pushing less observant Jews away, creating shame around being Jewish, and fueling antisemitism.

Jew in the City addresses these challenges on every level:

*Repairing systemic issues from within – through our Tikun branch
*Rehabilitating and re-educating disenfranchised Haredi Jews – through our Makom branch
*Holding traditional media accountable for accurate reporting and creating original positive Orthodox content – through our Keter branch.

Our programs cause Jews to lean into their Judaism, create Jewish pride, and reduce antisemitism, bringing about lasting change for generations to come.
