The Cambridge History of Jewish American Literature, written by Hana Wirth-Nesher
A bad, bold, big-nosed, biblical brother”
Film director Jonathan Kesselman’s 2003 comedy The Hebrew Hammer introduced a new Jewish superhero on cable television: a tough, hip, jive-talking “biblical brother” who battles anti-Semites on the streets of New York under the gaze of adoring children, desirous women, and admiring African-Americans.
