Jonathan Ames, ‘Herring Wonder’ and HBO Series Creator, Does Israel
Writer Jonathan Ames, creator of the HBO television series “Bored to Death,” is known for his fearless and exhibitionistic persona. One can find YouTube videos of him eating herring and boxing at the same time, having knives thrown at him by a person called “Throwdini,” and ranting drunkenly at an awards ceremony. And when it comes to writing, Ames’s essays tend to cover racy topics. Given these exploits, it’s a bit surprising to learn that Ames’s recent trip to Israel [...]

Jewish Presence in Contemporary Art
The Jewish presence and identity in the contemporary world of art is one truly worth noting. At the 3rd annual conference of “Jewish Arts & Identity in the contemporary world” in Baruch College’s Jewish Studies Center, at a panel entitled “Jewish Ways of Seeing: The Visual Arts and the Jewish Tradition”, the Jewish impact on the creative world is exemplified through the discussion of artist Audrey Flack and her various works. Flack was born in 1931 to a fairly Orthodox [...]

Black Jazz Musician Encounters Mixed Reactions to Subway Renditions of Hatikvah, Hava Hagila
At first you may be skeptical of Isaiah Richardson Jr. He doesn’t look like somebody who would be playing Hava Nagila for passengers waiting for their train in the subway. Firstly, he seems too young, and secondly, he’s a black kid from the Bronx, dressed sharply, derby hat and all. But when upon meeting Isaiah, the 32-year-old ticked off “Hevenu Shalom Aleichem,” “Bashana Haba’ah,” and “Zum Gali Gali” as some of his favorite songs to play passing crowds, I knew [...]

Mother’s Day Performer Blends Israeli Independence and the Jewish Side of Verdi
This Mother’s Day, the music of opera singer Sharon Azrieli Perez will integrate the varied threads that have made up the fabric of her life. Perez, in a Mother’s Day concert May 12 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, will weave a musical experience that brings together intimations of Israeli independence, Giuseppe Verdi’s use of Jewish melodies, medieval Ladino music, and modern Jewish show music. These musical elements are particularly personal for Perez, whose Juilliard education has [...]

I am Asian. Muslim. Wasn’t in face book – nearly 3 years. Wish to make a comeback in business through facebook. Knew before that it was founded by a student while he was in Harvard. Only knew today that he is Mark Zuckerberg. A little to late to say congratulation for his marriage. Was a little reluctant to start business with the help of facebook knowing that he is indeed a Jew. From his look he is more Christian than Jew.
My heart says he is God’s creation. The brain and knowledge that God has given him is precious. Therefore, let’s appreciate him as God’s creation regardless of race, religion and colour – as God bestowed anything He wishes whithout influence – single handed.
To Mark Zuckerberg my the years to come brings happiness to you and wife. My God bless you both and may my wish to fly high again using your super genius internet creation is achieved too. Good luck.

These woman want a Jewish husband, they just don’t want them to be Jewish. Huh??? The heart and soul of a Jewish man requires a Jewish mate to return the emotional/spiritual energy he gives to her, otherwise that energy soon gets spent. The depleted man then seeks and engages in self-destructive behavior.

so amazing!! and so true!

another “jewish” husband bites the dust leaving a diminishing supply of available men. this leaves many women no recourse but to stay single or marry a non jew.

It’s this big trend in north america to date chinese. I live in toronto canada and the city is already like 60 percent asian and the few remaining european decent men all inter-marry with the chinese. they are easy and sometimes even pay for the men on dates. it’s just a lack of culture and forgetting about heritage on the mens part. I’m sure a lot of israeli’s would think twice before marrying chinese because of the hardship they go through and seeing how important it is to marry jewish.
I hope this trend ends soon before we go extinct and all that is walking the earth is some form of asian.

NOTE: His parents did not attend.
MZ has a Jewish conscience, he chose to leave his identity behind claiming he considered himself an atheist.

My Jewish way is to wish both Mazal Tov and enough wisdom to invest their future in the Jewish way….

A wasted sentiment. Chen had 9 years to convert and didn’t. There is not hope.

Why single out Zuckerberg for opprobrium? fifty percent or more of non-orthodox American Jews intermarry. US Jews should ask themselves why the real Jewish Shoah of demographic demise is happening in the US, and why American Jews think so poorly of their own ancestry they have no interest in preserving it

Being the son of a Jewish mother & a non-Jewish father,I can relate to being the offspring of this type of union.It is confusing & difficult when one is young to find your true roots.Mazal Tov to the newly weds but I hope that they can give good guidance to their future children with regards to a religious upbringing.I’m not talking ultra frum,I’m talking about Jewish values & Jewish morals.

Rabbi Levin, the Chabad shaliach to Palo Alto, has a little more gray in his beard. And he probably DID invite him for Shabbos!

I like this Rabbi Levin!
Thanks for your comment!
