A big reason I got so excited about Hardison's speech on teshuvah in Leverage: Redemption is that it turned Hardison's jokes about being Jewish from something uncomfortable, like "haha isn't it silly that Hardison would say he's Jewish" into this very canny and deliberate move on Hardison's part where he plays with people's expectations of his identity. Those jokes never sat well with me, but through the lens of him actually being Jewish, I now really enjoy them.
Omg, I'm so glad you are fired up about that parshah too. I have a lot of feelings about Moses and Aaron! I feel like there are a lot of moments in Leverage where Hardison is the Aaron to Parker's Moses - he enables this translation between Parker-speak and the rest of the world.
