Breaking the Glass: Jewish Weddings on Television

Breaking the Glass: Jewish Weddings on Television brings together excerpts from television and streaming programs from 1974 to 2020 such as Rhoda, Will & Grace, The Nanny, New Girl, and Unorthodox, among others, that illustrate the depth and the range of television depictions of this important life-cycle event.

This installation is inspired by the Museum’s collection from the National Jewish Archive of Broadcasting (NJAB). With more than 4,000 holdings, the archive is the largest and most comprehensive body of broadcast materials on Jewish culture in the United States.
