Stars Celebrate Hanukkah
A variety of Jewish celebrities are observing Hanukkah with the masses this year. A new Web site, chanukahwiththestars.com, features video segments with actress Tovah Feldshuh, boxer Dmitry Salita, Minnesota senator Norman Coleman, musician Matisyahu and others.
Each broadcast includes an interview with a star and a candle-lighting ceremony. A different video will be posted each night of Hanukkah. The brainchild of New York City rabbinical student Berel Lerman (who is hosts the Web site kabbalahcast.org), the Web site features audio files with Hanukkah songs and lyrics, latke and jelly doughnut recipes, a general “how-to” section for the Festival of Lights and the celebs’ video bloopers.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
