Maya Kravitz and Gabriella Hirsch were ecstatic when they saw that the new movie in town was a superhero flick. They eagerly bought their tickets and settled down in their seats, ready to enjoy the action-packed adventure. However, as the movie started to unfold, they were disappointed to see the same old trope of a big nosed, greedy villain. They knew all too well that this was an antisemitic stereotype that had been perpetuated for far too long in media.
Maya and Gabriella couldn't help but express their frustration. Maya said, "Well, I can't believe anyone would spend time to make it. When will this big nosed greedy villain trope end? It's so antisemitic!" Gabriella agreed, "Yeah, especially considering we are both Jewish."
As they were leaving the theatre, they saw a student named Ryan Schafer walking out. Ryan asked if they saw the movie and if they liked it. Maya and Gabriella said they hated it because of the antisemitic coding in it. But Ryan told them it wasn't a big deal and that they were just being too sensitive.
Then, Ryan asked another student named Jake Haddad if he liked the movie. Jake, who was also Jewish, said that he didn't watch it because he had already heard about the antisemitic coding. Maya, Gabriella, and Jake wanted to do something about it.
Gabriella and Jake decided to write an email to the movie producers, explaining their concerns about the movie's antisemitic content. Unfortunately, the response they received was just an advertisement for the movie, and it was clear that the producers had not read their email.
Maya, who loved writing stories, came up with a solution. She created her own Jewish superhero character named Lady Crystal, who was a cryokinetic superhero. She, Gabriella, and Jake worked tirelessly on an animation of a Lady Crystal story, determined to show their school that there was a better way to represent Jewish characters in media.
Finally, the day arrived when they were able to show their Lady Crystal animation to the school. Everyone loved it, and the teachers were proud of their students' creativity and dedication. Gabriella's mother, Mrs. Hirsch, was especially proud, as she had seen firsthand how hard her daughter and her friends had worked to create something positive.
Maya, Gabriella, and Jake's Lady Crystal animation became a hit among the school, and they were even invited to present it at a local film festival. Thanks to their hard work and determination, they were able to show the world that
