[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.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary的Trend Watch有解釋過commoner，去年底威廉王子Prince William和凱特Kate Middleton宣佈完婚日期時，那整整一個多禮拜，打開報紙或是BBC新聞，都會提到Kate Middleton為第一位嫁入英國皇室的平民王妃commoner。
