From the article:

> The high point is probably Seinfeld, but it’s hard to say exactly what’s so Jewish about Seinfeld, beyond Jerry himself being Jewish. Arguably, it’s less that and more to do with New York, and with endless discussions about the tiny details of life, described once by producer Larry Charles as “a dark Talmud”.

EVERYTHING about Seinfeld is Jewish. Arguing is a part of Jewishness. They meet at a Deli. NYC is Jewish. George, who’s not a Jew, is Jewish. Elaine, who’s not a Jew, is Jewish. Kramer is the Shabbos goy of the bunch.

That’s the point of “dark Talmud” - we have a mandate as Jews to debate. So even if this article agreed with everything I say, I’d still find a way to pick something apart. My mother taught me this.
