Hi! Idk if you're following this, but there's a movie coming out called "Disobedience" about a Jewish romance. I've looked into it a bit, although not thoroughly. As far as I can tell, all of the characters being played are Jewish… but I don't think all of the actors are Jewish. Can you (or some of your followers??) correct me or affirm this? Thanks!!! (If it's true, I will be r e a l l y reallyreallyreally annoyed)
Hi!  I’ve heard about this, it’s based on a novel.  While Rachel MacAdams (one of the stars if I am correct) is distinctly Christian, the primary main character in the movie is played by Rachel Weisz, who is Jewish.  Allan Corduner and Alexis Zegerman also seem to be Jewish, based on their Wikipedia articles.  So while it’s not great that they’re having non-Jewish people play Jews, the star protagonist and many other characters are played by Jews.  I wouldn’t be too worried but anyone else is welcome to chime in on this.
