For the past two years, I've only watched the UFC cards that had Natan Levy fighting. Happy he's still making us proud.

Very well balanced approach to this weeks news in the Jewish world and Israel specifically 👏

In Hollywood, big names attract big crowds of movie goers, and that's where the money is. So Hollywood will always do what brings in more $$! So, I wouldn't focus too much on the prosthetic nose but rather the content of the movie and how accurately they portray historical characters and events. By the way, I love the Jewish nose, it's a very unique feature that needs to be embraced, (I'm not Jewish by the way). I couldn't imagine Jewish women like Barbara Streisand, Golda Meir, Maiyim Bialik and others being themselves or who they are without their unique noses. This is something that ought to be embraced! I'm curious about the Adam Sandle movie, but I love Golda Meir more, so I'm thorn between the two. But I would most likely see Golda!😊

I don't know anything on the Bradley Cooper situation but do you thing of all the years of persecution that Jewish ppl think their is anti semetic things happening when there isn't cause we all know generational trauma is a real thing?

Every part of this piece is so balanced and refreshing. Great job. I saw the Adam Sandler movie. Well done but the Jew is portrayed very much so as wealthy and materialistic which is disturbing. We get enough flack for that. In terms of nose-gate. Rubbish. Let’s not get carried away.

I would like to see the Film "Golda" first, but I will also se the Film "You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah"! I am Curious to see if Netflix has become a little less Antisemitic and anti-Israel!

Israel should be a Country of those People who are of Jewish Ethnicity, not of those People who follow Judaism: Ivanka Trump is not of Jewish Ethnicity, but she follows Judaism, and therefore she should not be allowed to live in Israel! And those People who are of Jewish Ethnicity, they may be following Judaism to a Certa8n Degree, or they can be Atheists, Agnostics or a Member of another Religion, for Example Buddhism; and therefore, they should not be forced to do something they don't want to do!

Unless working on Shabbat is absolutely voluntary, public transportation should not run on Shabbat. And, knowing how bosses pressure workers, into doing things they don't wish to do, I don't see how working on Shabbat can be 100% voluntary. So, no public transportation should run on Shabbat. As to Golda and Maestro, I'm sick of the fact, that now there are finally many good Jewish roles, it seems only gentiles are being cast in those roles. I've already seen that British actress ruin one good movie, with her clueless portraying of a Jewish figure, I'm not going to waste good money watching her ruin another one. And incidentally, she is wearing a terrible fake nose too. Other ethnic groups have fought to have roles portraying them only be filled by the correct ethnicity, Jews should too. So, pass on both those movies.
