The Times of Israel reviews two contrasting films that explore facets of Jewish American life: the Netflix‑released comedy ‘Roommates,’ starring Sadie Sandler, which has become the platform’s number‑one title in Israel, and the 13‑minute intergenerational short documentary ‘How to Make Challah.’ The pieces showcase the diversity of contemporary Jewish narratives, from mainstream comedy to intimate indie storytelling. Critics note the cultural resonance of both works among Israeli and diaspora audiences.
