"You're letting them put a pig, a freaking non-kosher traif [ritually impure] mammal into my chest, into my heart, the very essence of my being?",
Leaving aside the fact that pork-derived insulin and surgical implants are completely permissible according to Jewish law, can you imagine "Grey's Anatomy" portraying a Muslim character?
Religous Jews, traditional Catholics and evangelical Christians need to form an organization like CAIR.

I think the writers "did too much blow", TV went off for Lent, and it is still off.

Didn't Madonna the non-Jew already call dibs on the name Esther?

Catholics have the Catholic League. When CAIR complains about a movie or TV show's portrayal of Muslims, the producers and writers can't change it fast enough to please them.
When the Catholic League complains about a movie or TV show's portrayal of Catholics, the producers and writers laugh at them and include more of the same.
The reason is obvious: Catholics, U-O Jews and evangelicals don't run around beheading people.

FYI..I saw the episode, and admittedly, late on Sunday, after a long weekend, and not focusing real hard, I felt the character portrayal was sincere and honest, sympathetic.. and not demeaning of her belief in Orthodox Judaism. She's a teenager, and as a rule, they are NOT rocket scientists..but in what came across very strongly, IMHO, was her contentment at finding something that gave her comfort ..her faith, when compared to the vapid existence of her parents..She was far more mature, and grounded, than they were. The show is basically entertainment..you can't, dare I say it, "preach" too hard..or you end up with NO audience..

Well, as my father always says "If in doubt...blame the Jews!" Yes, we are Jewish.

Don't forget the Calvinist Cads! :-)
Seriously, you're absolutely right; such an organized alliance is long overdue. Those who can't bring themselves to see it are simply blind to the realities--for all of us--as they quite simply are.

The writers are idiots. It is totally permissible to derive hanah from pig. Now if they'd wanted to rebuild her heart with beef stroganoff, that might have been a problem. ;)

I know a lot of Jewish girls named Devo. It's a nickname for Devorah.

I know a lot of Jewish girls named Devo I think it is in the pronounciation. I have been in and around the frum community for many years (and have a teenage daughter) and don't hear the name Devo pronounced like the band Devo. (long e, long o "dee-vo). Of course, it might be an Israeli thing. I don't know.
I have heard Didi, Devi, Dudi, Duhvi, but not any deee-vo's (long o).

Sounds to me like the writers of Gray's Anatomy are a bunch of schmendricks......
