Religion & Spirituality
Daughter of a Jewish father and Catholic mother who wasn't raised as either; the pain of her mothers' ex-communication from the church, and the anti-semitism her family suffered in her youth; grappling with how to impart religious identity to her own daughter; and the realization that she can hold onto faith as she sees fit.
Jessalyn Gilsig (Vikings, Scandal, Glee, Nip/Tuck) visits the show, and she and Nicholas instantly start digging into the burning questions surrounding the series Boston Public (example: Why did they make her take so many showers on camera?). Jessalyn opens up about having parents from different faith backgrounds (Catholic and Jewish), how they decided not to raise Jessalyn as either one, and how that's left her to grapple with her own religious identity. She speaks about the difficulty of her mother being ex-communicated from the Church, as well as the anti-semitism her family suffered during her childhood (bomb threats?!). Jessalyn is now guiding her daughter through these same questions regarding religion and spirituality, as well as trying desperately to get her to stop leaving chocolate laying around where Jessalyn is tempted to eat it.
