Policing For Stereotypes ADAM DICKTER Special to The Jewish News R abbi Shea Hecht isn't giv- ing up his day job while waiting for a call from David Milch, producer of the new CBS police drama "Brooklyn South." The rabbi, chairman of the National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Education in Crown Heights, recently offered his services as a consultant to the pro- gram, which centers on uniformed officers of the fictional 74th Precinct. Informed in advance that an episode would center on a chasidic community involved in a racial inci- dent, Rabbi Hecht wrote Milch to declare that "Orthodox Jews are not monolithic and, therefore, should not be stereotyped." The letter was mailed between production of the episode and its airing. Rabbi Hecht is also a member of the Mayor's Task Force on Police Brutality. The episode depicted a chasidic man played by Theodore Bikel — a central casting mainstay for prime- time Jewish portrayals — who is mugged with his young granddaugh- ter. A chasidid patrol group later cor- ners a suspect and beats him while resisting arrest. The suspect turns out to be the wrong man, and the patrol leader is arrested, to be later released when a diplomatic sergeant brokers an apology. The incident is reminiscent of one last year, in which two members of the Crown Heights Shmira patrol group were charged with beating a black suspect. The actors portraying Chasidim wore phony beards, spoke with exag- gerated accents and used every opportunity to invoke the Holocaust. But Rabbi Hecht has no opinion of the episode. "I don't watch TV," he said, further diminishing his chances of landing that network con- sultant job. ❑ Adam Dickter is a writer for the New York Jewish Week.
