What 3 Icons Are Willing to Risk for the Jewish People: Jason Alexander, Cindy Crawford

Jonah Platt sits down with three icons whose support for the Jewish people takes very different forms and very different risks, in a special episode featuring legendary shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, supermodel Cindy Crawford, and Seinfeld star Jason Alexander. Stuart opens up about the moment his relationship with his own Jewish identity shifted, and the unexpected pair of family trips he now uses to pass that pride down to his kids. Cindy explains why saying yes to this conversation broke a 40 year streak of staying out of anything divisive, and what she's hearing from friends about a disturbing trend among young Jewish kids today that she refuses to stay quiet about. And Jason reveals the one Seinfeld episode he almost couldn't bring himself to do, the line he drew with Larry David over it, and his surprisingly complicated answer to a question a lot of Jews are still wrestling with. This is Being Jewish: Best of Icons.
