I wonder how censorship works with Odelya Halevi? The actress is a
Sephardic Jew, born in Israel. Her family emigrated from Yemen. The
character she plays on Law & Order is a Lebanese ethnic born in the
United States.

I just read that when she first came to the United States, she couldn't
speak English, but everyone in Israel learns English.
