Nothing Says Hanukkah Like Jenna Jameson Lighting a Menorah

Anne Cohen

By Anne Cohen December 7, 2015

It’s 2015 — if you didn’t post it to social media, it didn’t happen. And Jewish holidays are no exception.

So, on this the festival of lights, Jewish celebrities and public figures from Jenna Jameson to Michael Bloomberg took to their feeds to wish their fans a Happy Hanukkah, and prove that their candles were indeed lit.

Jenna Jameson posed with her Israeli hubby-to-be

Matisyahu said shalom to a little friend

Alex Borstein plays dreidel like it’s a “Game of Thrones”

Iddo Goldberg has a nicer menorah than you do

Paula Abdul’s message seems suspiciously Christmas-y (Bright and happy — or merry and bright?)

Speaking of Christmas, Sarah Silverman took it there

Jenny Slate went old school

Michael Bloomberg showed off his holiday hashtag skills

Mayim Bialik shines by example — but why are all the candles lit?

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
