In an article in The Times of Israel, Rabbi Steve Wernick, Beth Tzedec’s senior Rabbi, said "extensive" filming took place at Conservative Synagogue in York during a six-week shoot.
He said, “They filmed in our chapel, in the gym for one of the bat mitzvah party scenes, in the religious school gift shop, the rabbi’s office.”
