Hollywood Jews and Hester Street Jews: Image and Reality.
In the stories of Abraham Reisin, "The Contribution", " Save Your Dimes" and "The Trial" not everything is how it looks on the surface. Behind the shiny image of a film or a parade there lurks a darker reality. This is something that the old Hollywood moguls would have comprehended perfectly since they in many respects created the image. In Simcha Jacobovici's film: Hollywoodism: Hollywood and the Jews based on Neal Gabler's book, the central idea is that a bunch of impoverished Jewish immigrants created the American Dream and then proceeded to build the Hollywood machine that manufactured it. 2 pgs. 5 f/c. 0b.
