Ok, we’ll admit it, we just couldn’t resist! Yes, the #HowOldRobot is in its beta stage, but we wanted to know what it would make our of our favorite famous Jews. Here are the results and well… #HowOldRobot still has some kinks to work out.
A fine young man – Mel Brooks (88):
Bust (immortal), Benjamin Netanyahu (65) and Barrack Obama (53)
Benjamin Netanyahu may look dejected in this pic, but at least #HowOldRobot thinks he’s younger than Obama!
Amy Schumer (33)
Good job, #HowOldRobot
Larry David (67)
Feeling young, eh Larry?
But #HowOldRobot’s most grievous offense is:
Ruth Bader Ginsburg (82)
No matter how many years you may have shaved off her, how dare you think Notorious RBG is one of the weaker sex! We reject your analysis!
How old does #HowOldRobot think you are?
Why I became the Forward’s 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.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
