I flew ZIONIST Native American Tribes to NYC so we could have conversations on the streets about indigenous people rights… the Jewish homeland of Israel being one of them 🇮🇱 The results were shocking, with many even refusing to continue talking the second Jews were included in the dialog. A scary refusal to hear facts — but thankfully I had strong allyship to back me up 🤝 Today I’m thankful to be building bridges and finding shared meaning with Menches from different benches. I think this video is important to see, even though it’s hard to watch at times. Today of all days, please share the Jewish story with the world to remind people that Israel is our indigenous homeland. Send this this video to every Jew and none-Jew you know so it can become apart of the Turkey table conversation tonight and the entire holiday weekend. With antisemitism skyrocketing and Jew-violence at all time highs, we need our side of the story to be told now more than ever. Thankfully for us, it’s the truth ✡️ 🦃 Please follow my amazing friends @chief_joseph_riverwind and @laralynriverwind to learn more about their wonderful world and powerful words 🙏 #Thanksgiving #indigenous #indigenousrights #America #israel #native #nativeamerican #zionist #zionism #jews #jewish #antsemitism #nativeamericanday #palestine #oct7 #october7 #holyland #indiginouspeople #news #report #manonthestreet #gaza #thanksgivingparade #macysparade #macys #protest
What a special, unforgettable evening thanks to the @hadassahfoundation. I was beyond* honored to receive the Honor of Esther: Woman of Courage, Inspiration, and Commitment Award. The award is named for Queen Esther, who used her feminist voice and strong values to stand up for and save the Jewish people, demonstrating the tremendous impact that one woman can have on countless others. The Hadassah Foundation, marking its 25th anniversary of championing gender justice, has built and nurtured a field of organizations improving the lives of women and girls throughout Israel and the U.S. Jewish community. Their $12 million in grants to more than 100 organizations expand women’s rights, elevate and empower women and girls in leadership roles, confront gender-based violence, and increase female political representation. Thank you @amibeckeraronson for being my champion and holding my hand. Thank you @gitabass my sister/magic maker 💄and @gonn24, hair wizard, for making me feel special for the award. Some glam shots, a pix of the beautiful award, me and Ami, and finally, my acceptance speech. #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #hadassahfoundation #Esther #community #philanthropy #genderjustice

~~~~OPENING NIGHT OF SHIT.HIT.FAN~~~~ OH WHAT A NIGHT!!!! 💃🎉🎭🥂 Something to celebrate, and boy did we! We got dolled up for the red carpet, a cast dressed to kill, and I had to get a picture with my dressing room roommie and dance partner! The party after was festive, full of loving support from friends, and too much tequila. I’m a lightweight. And I am a tequila girl. And….it was Opening Night! Thankfully Elsie was there to take care of me when I got home.☺️ #shithitfan #mcc #offbroadway #worldpremiere @neilpatrickharris @tremell_coleman @garretdillahunt @constancewu @ghannelius #michaeloberholtzer #janekrakowski @mtcphotograpy @broadwaybruce_ 📸
429 days ago I did not know that the most important work of my life would be executive producing the Oscar qualifying documentary, “OCTOBER H8TE: The Fight for the Soul of America.”Today, voting for Best Feature Documentary for the Academy Awards begins. Directed by, award-winning filmmaker, Wendy Sachs (Director of Surge 2020 which chronicled the historic 2018 midterm elections when a record number of first time female candidates ran for congress looking to flip their red districts blue), OCTOBER H8TE is a wake-up call showing how an explosion of antisemitism across American elite college campuses, within our institutions and in our streets, is a threat to democracy itself. We are not litigating the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza or advocating that anyone be denied their land or right to self determination. This is about exposing fundamentalism and extremism and the threats they pose to democracy and the West. Meticulously investigated, OCTOBER H8TE includes interviews with high profile figures including son of Hamas’s founder, Mosab Hassan Yousef, US Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, Noa Tishby, Congressman Ritchie Torres, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg, as well as journalists Bari Weiss, Douglas Murray, author Dara Horn, Iranian-born Human Rights Activist Mandana Dayani, NYU professor Scott Galloway, Kibbutz Nir Oz survivor, Irit Lahav, and college students Tessa Veksler, Noa Fay and Talia Khan, and comedian/actor Michael Rappaport. The film exposes how over decades Hamas created sophisticated networks in America using stunning levels of social engineering and illustrates how online antisemitism, propaganda, and disinformation unleashed by Iran, China and Russia, are designed to divide American society. Our aim is to educate. To simply and cohesively lay out the Truth. Healing the fractures and divisions created by foreign actors is how we protect western civilization and its foundational tenets of equality freedom and justice. #octoberh8te #oscarvoting #documentary #protectdemocracy #healdivides #oscars STAY TUNED FOR INFO ABOUT DISTRIBUTION!
Absolutely devastating seeing what is happening in LA! It looks absolutely apocalyptic. My prayers to everyone who has lost their homes, their businesses, their animals, their sense of peace that only home can give. To all those evacuating, please stay safe, and take shelter. The Red Cross has 13 shelters in the area. Dream Center is offering food and clothing. Canine Rescue Club is fostering and adopting pets. Share resources and fundraising campaigns as they pop up across social platforms. This is a terrifying disaster and the city will need all the help it can get in the coming months. Please do what you can. ❤️ LA we are all praying for you. 🙏 Praying the dangerous winds die down so quick containment is possible. Deepest gratitude to the brave firefighters and first responders. Please stay safe.

HAPPY 1st NIGHT OF HANUKKAH! ✡️💙 “Tomorrow” from the musical “Annie” has a very special place in my heart. It was the first Broadway show I saw, and it is the reason I became an actress. 7 year old me saw all these little girls on stage singing and dancing and I turned to my mother and said, “I want to do THAT!” My dream came true in High School when I was cast as “Annie.” I was 5’6 and Daddy Warbucks was 5’9, but it was perfect. Because I got to sing this song. “Tomorrow” is an anthem of hope, resilience, and community-the perfect message for this Hanukkah season. Thank you to the Broadway community for shining light on this beautiful holiday, and to all our allies who sing alongside us. It matters. 🙏 Full #HanukkahOnBway music video out now on YouTube. @sethrudetsky @jujujuliebee #juliebenko #broadway #jewishpride @shabbatbway @ HAG SAMEACH!✨✨✨✨✨🕎🕯️

SORRY FRIENDS! I had a technical issue and the speech cut off in the last post. People have been asking for me to post the full speech, so here it is.
It’s almost Hanukkah! In this climate, it’s so important that Jewish people feel excited and proud of their traditions. For little kids, Jewish pride can be something as small as looking forward to Hanukkah! A DRAGON FOR HANUKKAH is a fun, magical story for kids ages 3 and up (it even sneaks in a couple educational moments about Jewish history and culture). Whether you’re lighting the menorah or not, spread Jewish joy this holiday season and get yourself or a loved one a copy of A DRAGON FOR HANUKKAH! @scholastic #jewishbookmonth #dragonforhanukkah
