Adam Brody plays a rabbi dating a woman "without a Jewish bone in her body" in a new Netflix show.

Samira Mehta : The basic plot of Jewish men dating and marrying non-Jewish women has been a trope of stage and screen for 100 years .

She says in the early 1970s , CBS created a sitcom based on the premise of a Jewish man in this case, a cabbie whose parents own a New York deli.

Samira Mehta : The show was particularly unnerving to the Jewish community because the interfaith marriage rate was rising at unprecedented rates in the 1970s .

She says it was fear in the community that Jewish assimilation to wider American culture would prove too successful.

In some ways, “ Nobody Wants This ” demonstrates something new: Not only can one make a show about interfaith dating, but the Jewish dater can also be a rabbi!.
