The very last moment sees various onlookers at the synagogue – including veteran actor Feldshuh – looking agog as Noah greets Joanne warmly.
That moment, along with others, prompted reaction about how certain Jewish themes and tropes were handled in the series.
For Rabbi Amanda Greene, a senior rabbi at the reform Chicago Sinai congregation in Chicago, some of it – even the parts that may have seemed somewhat extreme – rang rather true.
“There is some truth in that the congregation wants to know what’s going on in the personal life of the rabbi,” she added.
All that felt really good to see portrayed on TV.”As the first season of “Nobody Wants This” continues, Noah and Joanne imagine a possible future together.
