This December, the Disney Junior series Elena of Avalor will host a very special Hanukkah episode — and a Jewish princess.
Last year, upon the release of Ralph Breaks the Internet, one of its stars, Sarah Silverman, insisted in interviews that her character, Vanellope Von Schweetz, was the first Disney Jewish princess.
The actor who will portray the character, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, responded to the tweet, noting she is “so excited” to voice Disney’s first Jewish princess.
