T-shirts Fit For a King
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
If you’ve always wanted to wear an outfit emblazoned with the face of David Ben-Gurion, now’s your chance. In honor of Israel’s 60th birthday, a new line of T-shirts — featuring the mugs of figures from Israeli history alongside Israel’s Declaration of Independence — has been launched. The company, Ga-Ga for Israel, has recruited a number of celebs, including Larry King, Jackie Mason, Cindy Margolis and Valerie Harper, all of whom pose proudly, in full Ga-Ga gear, on its Web site, www.Israelturns60.org.
And if Ben-Gurion isn’t quite your style, Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu are also available. A percentage of the proceeds is donated to One Family Fund, an organization that provides assistance to Israeli victims of terrorism.
I’m personally matching all gifts to the Forward, up to $36,000. Can I match your gift now?
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
