Below Deck’s Barbie Pascual on Wanting to Convert to Judaism

Below Deck is an American reality television series that chronicles the lives of the crew members who work and reside aboard a superyacht during charter season.

I have never seen it, but a preview clip for the March 4th episode is worth mentioning because it goes against the grain of pretty much everything we are experiencing as Jewish people right now.

One of the characters, a stewardess called Barbie Pascual, explains that she wants to convert to Judaism. And her reasoning includes feeling a special connection when visiting Israel.

Bravo to… Bravo for airing this, especially at a time when they are destined to get a lot of flack.

And bravo to Barbie, who is clearly fearless.
