Remembering Mary Tyler Moore's Hebrew Lesson on Shalom Sesame


Mary Tyler Moore, the actress who died last Wednesday, wasn't Jewish. But she marrried Dr. Robert Levine in a ceremony performed by a rabbi at the Pierre Hotel, a marriage that lasted 33 years.

One of the episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show, where she starred as Van Dyke's TV wife, centered around a Bar Mitzvah. Titled Buddy Sorrell, Man and Boy, it featured comedian Morey Amsterdam as a man who, deprived of a Bar Mitzvah as a boy, secretly studied with a rabbi to give his mother some belated nachas.

Moore made an appearance on the very first episode of Shalom Sesame, where she got a Hebrew lesson from a girl named Maya.

Enjoy!

  1. They actually had a Jewish ceremony on TV!!! Try that today!!! Beautifully done. I am not Jewish but I grew up with lots of Jewish kids around me. So I guess I am a Jew by proxy! Your website is excellent. Keep up the good work. We need the humor to counter balance the horror in the world.
