And I agree that it should be an "Anglo" not just an American. Mick- Right on! I can't tell you how many couples I know that are "mixed" like you- I mean isn't that supposed to happen? If you want to marry an American your chances are better in America- marrying out means really cute babies- Jew fro and blue eyes!!

My Israeli wife who was in the biza scene for a short while before I rescued her *loved* Stacey. Our very marriage shows how the two worlds overlap. I'm with you, Molly, bring her back!

I agree that Srugim definitely needs to feature an Anglo as the single professional 'bitza' cannot be realistically portrayed without an Anglo. However, the Anglo shouldn't necessarily be an American as Jerusalem Anglos don't just comprise Americans but also Canadians, Australians, South Africans and Brits. Molly,

Esther keep telling him to do it! And Pico-Robertson should have it's own show! I love that the black hats and the blacks lived together! I miss it! 2. Harry I disagree. I think the worlds overlap and the fact that the show is about Jerusalem as well as the Bitza is the point. We are here, but you never see it on the show. Not when they are on campus, or on Emek- it's hard to believe. 1. Esther keep telling him to do it! And Pico-Robertson should have it’s own show!

My understanding is that there are two distinct worlds in HaBitza that rarely overlap. Though I must say a lecture by Stacy on religious pluralism by Stacey would be most welcome.

He doesn't take me up on it, but he should have. I too am a member of the bring back Stacy group, not just because the actress is a friend of mine; a show about single life in Jerusalem without Anglos is like a show about New York without Jews. Even Law & Order knows this. Which brings me back to my original episode - "Srugim Goes to the Upper West Side." The cast could go to MJE, the Bangitout Tu B'Av Party, the Matzah Ball, take in a JCC program - all the regular stops. Of course, I've moved to a different west side since I had that idea, but there are lots of Israelis here too, should we decide to do "Srugim Goes to Pico-Robertson."

If only I looked better in that pic.. maybe it's photoshop time. I’m still laughing at the fact that Amir and Laizy had to move from directly behind us to 2 seats over because I was too tall!!!
