From 1959 to 1973 Bonanza, which featured the Cartwright family running their ranch in the old American West, became one of the most popular shows on television. The show was created by writer-producer David Dorters (born David Solomon Katz) to share Jewish values with the world.
Dorters often said that the values he fused into Bonanza were Jewish values that he learned at home in Brooklyn from his father and his uncle Harry, who, known as Pancho's Jew, fought with the Mexican revolutionary fighter Pancho Villa.
Two of the leading actors in Bonanza were Jewish, as you'll see in this video about the series, posted on YouTube by Jewish Life Television (JLTV).
Enjoy!
