"And really, the irony is that it was typically Jewish writers who were saying, 'Let me make sure the parents feel like real Jewish parents'."
Erin discusses how difficult it is to balance stereotypes, explaining, "Because if you go against stereotype then you'll be accused of not knowing how to write Jewish characters."
"If I made the Jewish parents, like, two granola hippies on a farm...you clearly don't know how to write Jewish people."
"What I really wanted to do was shed a positive light on Jewish culture from my perspective...without it being heavy-handed."
