15 Reasons Schmidt From ‘New Girl’ Is the Ultimate Jewish Friend
Season 6 of “New Girl” (finally!) starts tonight and we’re celebrating by paying homage to the loft’s resident Jew, Schmidt.
Apologies for playing favorites, but out of all of the crew, we would definitely most want to co-opt him as our roommate. Driving moccasins and all.
He’ll give it to you straight.
He has no patience for sports.
He’ll tell you when you wear something unflattering.
He’d definitely hang out with you if you’re lonely on Christmas Eve.
You can take him to any Jewish dating event.
And he’ll tell you who to avoid.
He refuses to let you wallow.
But if you do need to wallow, he’s right there with you.
He makes for an excellent dance partner.
He tells you how he really feels.
He’s there for you with relationship advice.
He can be surprisingly romantic.
Because in the end he cares.
Like, really, really cares.
Yes, Schmidty. You certainly are.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
