Jews should get offended
If there’s one thing the Palestinians are great at, it’s saying no. For years now, many peace-loving Jewish heads have been bruised from banging against the brick wall of Palestinian rejectionism.
NSA and JEW
If you ever needed a sign that Jews feel fully integrated and accepted by society, consider this: Not one major Jewish group made a peep over the revelations of National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance.

Get Chai In Cannes
Posted by Joan Hyler
Follow JewishJournal.com on 
This Shabbat, the Los Angeles based Chai Center of Rabbi Schlomo and Olivia Schwartz is hosting a Shabbat dinner at the Cannes Film Festival at a Kosher restauraunt near the Palais. Sponsored, as it has been for the past six years by Hollywood heavyweights, including yours truly, this has been a well-attended annual Kosher Friday evening affair presided over by Rabbi Mendel Schwartz.
This year the one and only Schwartz pere “Schwartzie” will be doing the hosting honors surrounded by such Chai Center regulars as attorney Craig Emanuel, producer Scott Einbinder, and entrepreneurs Max Gottlieb and Steve Kaplan among others. There is even a Lubovitch of Cannes who will join in the festivities.
Rabbi Schwartz came to visit me yesterday to seek council for Cannes as I had been there a few years ago with Craig Emmanuel’s clientTom Hanks and Alfred Molina. I had two choice tips…1) hold court at the Carlton Hotel, stay close to Craig Emanuel who knows everyone worth knowing at Cannes, and have fun!
