Jew-ish deals with the themes of belongingness and human connection viewed through the lens of Jewish holidays and celebrations. Each scene is loosely focused on a Jewish holiday; the audience meets Rosalyn and Diane, two old friends who have been getting their weekly manicures for years, and learns about a particularly trying Sabbath dinner. They meet Shirley right after the death of her husband, Vic, and watch as her daughters, Leah and Rachel, grapple with their mother getting older and living with early-stage dementia. They watch poor Stacy, a clueless young bridesmaid, try to make sense of the rituals of a Jewish wedding and ruin a designer dress and most probably a friendship in the process. And they listen in on the words and thoughts of six random women musing on Passover, meeting in committees, picking up the kids at preschool and sitting in seemingly never-ending high holiday services, as they worry about their families, social media, the lox and bagels waiting back home, and how, in a world that is so spread out, and within a religion that seems increasingly sectionalized, they are supposed to make a connection.
