Breaking Jewish News: Larry David Returning to HBO

We have some pretty, pretty, pretty good news: Larry David is coming back to HBO with a whole new season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

The cable network announced plans for a ninth season of the award-winning show, five years after the last episode aired in 2011. We tried, but we just can’t contain ourselves.

“We’re thrilled that Larry has decided to do a new season of ‘Curb’ and can’t wait to see what he has planned,” Casey Bloys, the head of HBO programming, said in a statement released Tuesday.

Asked why he wanted to come back, David said, “In the immortal words of Julius Caesar, ‘I left, I did nothing, I returned.’”

Welcome back, Larry! How we have missed you, let us count the GIFs.

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.
