Dov and Ali revolved around a lapsed Jewish teacher and his teenage Muslim

student, how they dealt with their families, religion, and growing up. I played the student. Wait, no.


Here’s a video clip of it.

Sad, Weird Stories from My Youth that Somehow Relate to This
When I was in junior high and high school, I had a part-time job at my Hebrew school. One day I was asked to be an assistant teacher in a first-grade class. I ended up getting into a yelling match with a seven-year old, half my age.  Stay classy, Green.
