Special to the Jewish News
T
he most Jewish drama on
television comes out of the
closet tomorrow night.
The hit CBS series Numb3rs is
about the lives of the Epps family:
FBI agent Don (Rob Morrow), his
math whiz brother Charlie (David
Krumholtz) and their widowed father,
Alan (Judd Hirsch).
In past interviews, both Morrow
and Krumholtz acknowledged that
their characters are Jewish. Both also
assumed that their family's religion
eventually would play a role in the
plot line, though they couldn't predict
when. That time is now
Tomorrow's episode, airing 10 p.m.
Friday, Oct. 6, on CBS, centers on
the theft from a small Los Angeles
museum of a Pissarro painting of
uncertain provenance. Erica Hellman
(Gena Rowlands), a Holocaust survi-
vor, claims it belonged to her family
and was stolen by the Nazis. But as the
sole survivor of her family, she has no
supporting witnesses to her claim.
As Don and Charlie investigate, they
become increasingly involved in their
own Jewish past. "Why do you think
we were never religious?" Don asks
his brother. "Mom always wanted a
Christmas tree Charlie responds. And
then the subject is dropped.
Alan tells Don about his own
mother's cousin, who "got out before
the war, and then spent her whole life
searching for her people!'
"Did she find any?" Don asks.
"Not a single one."
Show runner Barry Schindel says
the show is "about family and what the
loss of one's family means!'
It has a special significance for
him. Both his in-laws are survivors;
his mother-in-law was sent to Siberia
when captured by the Russians, while
his late father-in-law was in several
camps.
"I pushed for this episode and
wanted to do it as close to the High
Holidays as I could," he says.
Schindel understands that "as
survivors die, their story gets increas-
ingly less relevant to younger people.
It gets tougher as the years go by. It
was important to me that our younger
demo watches this show and has an
idea for what happened!'
During the filming, an atypical
mood pervaded the set. "Everybody
was committed to make this as real
as possible in terms of feelings and
was approaching [the story] seriously
and with gravitas," says Schindel. "I
don't think anyone thought of it as just
another story."
The Holocaust-themed episode
of Numb3rs airs 10 p.m. Friday,
Oct. 6.
