Some of My Best Friends (1969) | BFI National Archive

Explore Jewish Britain on Film on BFI Player (UK only): https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/collec... Jews and Gentiles alike muse on what it means to be Jewish in 1960s Britain. The challenges of maintaining faith and culture outside Israel, and in a society where ‘Jewish’ and ‘English’ are seen as mutually exclusive identities are perceptively explored; though some secular Jews are keen to distance themselves from traditional Judaism and especially Zionism (one defines himself simply as a Marxist). Gentiles are on hand to cheerfully perpetuate some of the old stereotypes, and we’re treated to colourful snapshots of the Jewish community in London: the rag trade; a kosher butcher and restaurant.
