NETFLIX’S ‘THE SPY’ IS THE FIRST TIME I’VE SEEN MY SEPHARDI CULTURE ON SCREEN
By Linda Maleh
The second I had a moment last Friday, I raced to my computer to watch Netflix’s new limited series, The Spy. I’m a film and television critic, so getting excited about new shows isn’t unusual for me, but this felt different. I’d been waiting with bated breath for the series since it was first announced in April of As I sat down to watch, I realized I was overly personally invested in the show. Not because I just wanted a show that I was excited for to do well, but because I felt I had a personal stake in it.
Let me back up. The Spy is about Eli Cohen (played brilliantly by Sacha Baron Cohen), Israel’s most famous spy that infiltrated Syria in the ‘60s and was eventually caught and executed by the Syrian government. (I’m not spoiling anything. Besides for the fact that this is decades old history, it’s also revealed within the first few minutes of the show.) Why do I feel a personal connection to Eli Cohen? Because my ancestors, like his parents — Eli grew up in Egypt — were Jews from Aleppo, Syria. We have the same heritage.
What does this mean for my experience watching a show about him? Everything.
Being from the Middle East means that Eli was a Sephardi Jew, and so the show, so grounded in portraying Eli’s family, has Sephardi culture on display. There aren’t a lot of Jewish characters on television. This may be surprising, considering Hollywood is full of Jewish filmmakers, but it’s true. And when there is a Jewish character, they’re often only Jewish in name, not in practice. When Jewish characters are actually made to be Jewish in practice, however, they rely on cliches. There are ultra-religious Jews with their “backwards ways” on display (especially in procedurals, like doctor or detective shows, or the infamous film, Disobedience). Or, Jews are caricatures.
The latter is true even in shows championed by the Jewish community, like The Marvelous Mrs. Mai 至今,GenScript的服务及产品已被Cell, Nature, Science, PNAS等多家生物医药类杂志引用近万次,处于行业领先水平。NIH、哈佛、耶鲁、斯坦福、普林斯顿、杜克大学等约家全球著名机构使用GenScript的基因合成、多肽服务、抗体服务和蛋白服务等成功地发表科研成果,再次证明GenScript 有能力帮助业内科学家Make research easy. 页码: /每页显示数量 Authors: Raffaele Iennaco, Giulio Formenti, Camilla Trovesi, Riccardo Lorenzo Rossi, Chiara Zuccato, Tiziana Lischetti, Vittoria Dickinson Bocchi, Andrea Scolz, Cristina Martínez-Labarga, Olga Rickards, Michela Pacifico, Angelica Crottini, Anders Pape Møller, Richard Zhenghuan Chen, Thomas Francis Vogt, Giulio Pavesi, David Stephen Horner, Nicola Saino, Elena Cattaneo Journal: Cell Death Differ PubMed ID: Doi: /s Products & Services: PCR Cloning and Subcloning Authors: Icaro Putinhon Caruso, Vitor Dos Santos Almeida, Mariana Juliani do Amaral, Guilherme Caldas de Andrade, Gabriela Rocha de Araújo, Talita Stelling de Araújo, Jéssica Moreira de Azevedo, Glauce Moreno Barbosa, Leonardo Bartkevihi, Peter Reis Bezerra, Katia Maria Dos Santos Cabral, Isabella Otênio de Lourenço, Clara L F Malizia-Motta, Aline de Luna Marques, Nathane Cunha Mebus-Antunes, Thais Cristtina Neves-Martins, Jéssica Maróstica de Sá, Karoline Sanches, Marcos Caique Santana-Silva, Ariana Azevedo Vasconcelos, Marcius da Silva Almeida, Gisele Cardoso de Amorim, Cristiane Dinis Anobom, Andrea T Da Poian, Francisco Gomes-Neto, Anderson S Pinheiro, Fabio C L Almeida Journal: Int J Biol Macromol PubMed ID: Doi: /ac Products & Services: PCR Cloning and Subcloning Authors: Tomomi Kurane, Tetsuro Matsunaga, Tomoaki Ida, Kazuko Sawada, Akira Nishimura, Masayuki Fukui, Masayuki Umemu Israeli actor (born ) Yaniv Biton Jerusalem, Israel Avi Tairi Yaniv Biton (Hebrew: יניב ביטון; born 1 July ) is an Israeli television, film and theater actor and comedian, winner of the Israeli Academy Award for Television.
