We can all agree that this year was pretty terrible. From the deaths of iconic stars to all of the election mayhem, it’s about time we bid adieu to 2016.

And the general internet community couldn’t agree more.

People are taking to Twitter to demonstrate just how much this year has taken a toll on them with a few creative side by side picture comparisons.

Enjoy some rough before/after pictures featuring A-list Jewish celebrities.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
