Bid Adieu to Mandy Patinkin’s Beard
By Anne Cohen December 5, 2013
Who are you and what have you done with Saul?
“Homeland” star Mandy Patinkin stunned his fans this week when he showed up on “LIVE with Kelly and Michael” without the beard that has almost become a character in its own right.
“How can I run my fingers through your facial hair?” cried Kelly (raise your hand if you also have this urge). To which Mandy responded: “You can pretend it’s there.”
Apparently, the actor just couldn’t wait to shave it off. RIP Saul’s beard. We’ll miss you.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
- Alyssa Katz, Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
