WATCH: Here’s the Worst Tweets Zac Efron and Paul Rudd Have Gotten

The internet can be a weird, scary place. At any given moment, some random stranger can publicly write a hideously awful thing about you and there’s pretty much nothing you can do.

Except, maybe, laugh.

And that’s the genius of Jimmy Kimmel’s running segment “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets”. Stars read out loud the nastiest tweets they receive and suddenly it all feels a lot more funny, and a lot less degrading.

Check out some Jewish celebs reading out the worst of the worst from internet trolls.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

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.
