I hope to be able to advance the experience of immigrants in the United States, of Black and brown people in the United States, Ram Hinsdale said in a recent interview with Jewish Insider, but first we have to undo a lot of the damage that people like Stephen Miller have caused

When my friends ask me what its like to be a cop, I typically give them the standard living the dream line that most of us use for me, it truly is a dream job.

As I wandered through the galleries, luxuriating in the exquisite costumes and set designs, names like Lon Bakst, Ida Rubinstein, and Ren Blum triggered my Jewish historians sixth sense.

In an era in which Hollywood obsesses on matters of representation and diversity, and insists on casting women, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians for every possible role, and is in general walking on eggshells in an attempt not to rub up against any minority its not surprising that, of all people, it was a Jewish woman from Israel who managed to cause the latest commotion.
