Life is tough for Geoffrey Giraffe Jr.
Barbie dumped him for G.I. Joe, his father disowned him, and he’s living in an abandoned Toys "R" Us warehouse. But you know what they say? “When Hashem closes a door, he opens a window!” With the help of his foul-mouthed co-host Mr. Potato Head, Geoffrey is determined to stay positive and produce a public-access TV show for Jewish boys.
"How Do You Jew?" grapples with inheritance: the legacies of capitalism, whiteness complicated by Jewishness, toxic masculinity, and the environmental impact of the post-WWII plastic boom.
Co-created by Mason Rosenthal and Paul Kruse
Conceived, researched, and performed by Mason Rosenthal
