Israel’s Miss Universe contestant made her country proud at last week’s Miss Universe contest. During the portion of the contest in which the ladies had to don their most nationalistic outfit, Lina Makhuli wore the below piece. Notice the over-sized Star of David and the interesting gold drapery. Makhuli did not win. That honor went to Olivia Culpo of the United States.

‘Jews Don’t Hunt’ – Mostly

JNS.org – “Jews don’t hunt.” That’s a comforting statement to one who, like me, opposes hunting, even if it’s not strictly true.
