00:00It's all about the complications and love in a family.

00:04And how Jewish mothers love their children in a very special, unique way.

00:11It is very culturally specific, but I think it also is universal.

00:19Like when you get very specific inside a culture and you don't avoid it,

00:24I think it's actually easier to relate to from the outside than if you're trying to sort of clean it up somehow.

00:34On a serious note, how much does this show even resonate even more?

00:37We know anti-Semitism is on the rise throughout the world.

00:42So how important is a show like this right now?

00:46I think it's always important to put out positive reinforcement about a people and a culture.

00:54It is really wonderful that Netflix wanted to do our show.

00:58The timing was really interesting.

01:01So it does mean a lot to me and the way they cast it was very meaningful.

01:07The way it's written is really beautiful.

01:10There are a few tears shed, believe it or not, later on in the season.

01:15And I just really love it.

01:18I think Raphael is an incredible writer.

01:20He's so intuitive.

01:22Do you worry about the trolling, the anti-Semitism against you, especially with the show?

01:29You know what?

01:30I posted an image of a challah I made and I got trolled.

01:34It's like, what can I do?

01:36You just have to learn how to separate yourself from it.

01:43I used to hide all those comments or delete them or block them.

01:48And now I've stopped caring because I feel like I'd rather people see what happens.

01:55A lot of times people will jump in and defend, which is very sweet.

02:01But ultimately, what can we do?

02:04We have no control over this stuff.

02:06And representing is really important.

02:07Were you Bob Miff?

02:08I was.

02:09Tell me about your Bob Miff.

02:11Well, I sang my Haft Torah like Ethel Merman.

02:15I was like, I got up there and I thought, none of these people can leave.

02:20So I'm going to go for it.

02:23So I really like belted my Haft Torah.

02:27Other than that, I can't remember much, but it was a really wonderful day.

02:33I want to hear you doing your Haft Torah as Ethel Merman.

02:36And he was like, Ka, Ma, Ma, Adonai.

02:39Yeah.

02:40It was good.

02:41You're 13.

02:42Oh, yeah.

02:43I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up.

02:46Thank you so much, Lisa.

02:47It's so good seeing you.
