Very thoughtful and timely piece. I like the idea of the Finkle Test; it's long past time we got some more nuance in Jewish portrayals on TV and in the movies. I especially want to see more Jewish women portrayed as fully rounded people, not the stereotypes we often get: cold and intellectual, or desperate to get married to the nearest doctor or rabbi at hand, or poorly socialized and unattractive. This stuff drives me crazy and I'd LOVE to see it addressed.
