British rabbis on the 'fairly convincing' portrayal of Jewish life in Nobody Wants This. Benjamin Stanley.
Religious leaders broadly welcome the depiction of modern Jewish life in the show, Nobody Wants This, that has led the world to fall in with Adam Brody's 'hot rabbi'.
Rabbi Benjamin Stanley said portrayals of rabbis in popular culture often involve 'blokes with beards' and that Brody's character was much more relatable.

'I will never join the army': ultra-Orthodox Jews vow to defy Israeli court orders
As their military exemption ends, tensions divide the country and threaten to topple Netanyahu's government.
The special legal status of the ultra-Orthodox, the Haredim, that has endured as long as the state of Israel, came to an abrupt end on Monday following a supreme court decision that the group would no longer benefit from government subsidies and exemption from military service, as is mandatory for most other Jewish Israelis.

'A big shock': the Israeli startup helping ultra-Orthodox Jews enter world of hi-tech work
Entrepreneurs want Haredi men, many of whom live in poverty, to have access to the opportunities of Tel Aviv.
Entering Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox neighbourhood just a few kilometres away from the gleaming towers that testify to Tel Aviv's prowess as a global hi-tech hub, feels like stepping into a different world.
Despite the startups and advanced technology initiatives on their doorstep, much of Israel's ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, population still shuns modern inventions such as television and smartphones, which are viewed as a threat to their way of life.
A small group of entrepreneurs have launched the Mego programme, a 14-month-long vocational training programme preparing ultra-Orthodox men with little knowledge of the modern world for careers in the lucrative hi-tech sector.
"People think we're nuts to do this, but I believe that a spiritual way of life and economic success are not incompatible," said Yitzik Crombie, Mego's founder, an entrepreneur who also launched BizMax, a Haredi startup accelerator in Jerusalem, in 2017.
"There are about 300,000 people working in the hi-tech industry, but only 3% are Haredim. We are building programmes and tools to show the community what is possible."
