“This series about ‘new’ Jews will likely enlighten, entertain, annoy, and offend viewers in different ways, but it does present a varied and interesting portrait of American-Jewish life.”
Hannah Brown, The Jerusalem Post
“In a genre that tends to be disgustingly didactic, ‘The New Jew’ adheres to standards: it's curious, inquisitive, well-edited, and enjoys the comic resourcefulness of Alfi.”
Einav Schiff, Yediot Aharonot
“Guri Alfi sets out to understand American Jews with lots of good intentions. He is funny, honest, and his chemistry with the people around him is magical - which in itself makes the ‘new Jew’ fun to watch.”
Nadav Manuchin, Walla
