The Attractive Young Rabbi was a BBC Radio 4 comedy series of three series from 1999 to 2002, written by Barry Grossman. Starring Tracy-Ann Oberman, David de Keyser and Doreen Mantle, the series was about two rabbis. Oberman is Reform Rabbi Su Jacobs, the attractive young rabbi of the title, and clashes with de Keyser's Orthodox Rabbi Abraham Fine, a very traditional rabbi.
It has been frequently repeated on BBC 7, later BBC Radio 4 Extra, where it is described as a 'gentle comedy'.
Famous quotes containing the words attractive, young and/or rabbi:
“... when you do get a job everybody says, “Well, they wanted a black woman,” which necessarily puts you on a level where you have to prove yourself above being a woman and being black.... Now, I would say, in certain situations, it helped me simply because I was mildly attractive, not because I was black or a woman. That gets you more mileage than anything else.... God help you if you’re not an attractive woman.”
—Theresa Brown (b. 1957)
“It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible; and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“Calling a taxi in Texas is like calling a rabbi in Iraq.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
