[TV] Being Erica - Sandek

｛ Being Erica｝【S02 E07】

最近滿迷女公爵推薦的Being Erica，特別的是拍攝場景在多倫多（有別於常看的美劇）

故事中的女主角Erica是生長傳統的猶太家庭，父親是位Rabbi（拉比：猶太教經師或神職人員）

所以劇情中不時穿插猶太人的傳統與信仰

很喜歡故事中Dr. Tom引經據典

如果說《Pretty Little Mistakes》是本do-over的小說，那Being Erica就是do-over的影集

穿越時空回到過去，把List上滿滿的遺憾與悔過，重頭來一次

今天的故事，剛好提到猶太的割禮儀式

藉著這部片，慢慢多瞭解一些猶太的傳統

Ethan: Hey, is everything ok? What's the big deal? Isn't being the sandek like being the godmother? 

Erica: No, it is nothing like that. The sandek is the person that has to sit there and hold the baby while the mohel, aka my father, circumcises him.

[TV] Being Erica Quotes

【S03 E10】

"But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

【S03 E11】

Dr. Tom: Well, changing a pattern of behaviour, it's difficult, Adam.
Adam: Yeah, I know. Old habits are hard to break.
Dr. Tom: Because they bring us face to face with the reason why we developed them in the first place. 

【S03 E12】

Erica：“They say that journey of life is like a track of the mountain, we spend most of our time putting one foot in front of the other, we get lost, we fall, we circle back and sometimes every step is a struggle. Until the moment comes when we find our footing, when we are able to stop, take a breath and look up and see, how far we’ ve come and understand how beautiful that is. Suddenly the air sparkles all around us like a jewel and a world cracks open in all it’ s loveliness and we are filled with deep and inviting gratitude for all that we have and all that we are.”
