There's wonderful representation of both the deaf community and what it feels like to be deaf among hearing people and there is also Jewish representation and observances of a holiday. However, the story gets bogged down, ironically, in a lack of communication that has little to do with being deaf and in misunderstandings. Also some parts of the story dragged for me while the ending was rushed.
