In truth I despise eating pickles, because they remind me of the deaths of many friends. But I do not want to be rude. —Sell Out by Simon Rich The movie “An American Pickle” tells the story of a turn-of-the-century Jewish immigrant to New York who falls into a vat at the pickle factory where…
Can you get me Seth Rogen? I spent half of last week trying to use every connection I could to get to him. I, along with every other Jewish journalist, wanted to interview him about his comments on the Marc Maron podcast, which caused a Jewish firestorm. A Jewish firestorm doesn’t involve actual fire. It…
In many cases, a rabbi and a rebbetzin (rabbi’s wife) both do full-time rabbinic work, though only the rabbi enjoys acclaim and a salary.
