Who is Moishe Maisel in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel?
The garment king who saved thirteen Jews · The Maisels & Weissmans
Moishe Maisel (The garment king who saved thirteen Jews) is a character in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, part of The Maisels & Weissmans. Moishe Maisel built Maisel & Roth garments from nothing, mentions the thirteen Jews he saved from Germany at strategic intervals, and conducts family life at the volume of a cutting-room floor. He bankrolls Joel's ventures with strings visible from space, feuds and reconciles with his son in the same sentence, and walks through the series' later seasons pantsless exactly once, memorably. Under the bluster: a man whose generosity is real, perpetually disguised as a transaction.
