Brooklyn accent and over-gesticulation definitely required. And, for a double Jewish whammy, you could be Larry David dressing up as Bernie Sanders. Pretty, prettttty good.
Don’t dress up like a World War II evacuee.
Is this really a thing?!

No matter what your opinion is on this election, this one is a definitely topical—and a conversation starter. If you’re Ivanka, have a friend bring a small wind machine to blow on your hair whilst you smile serenely into space.

Don’t dress up like Anne Frank.
Just don’t.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
