Barbara Streisand and Billy Eichner Spent Thanksgiving Together

We don’t know about you, but we’d happily sell our souls to partake in an intimate thanksgiving feast with Barbara Streisand and Billy Eichner.
Allow us to set the scene: twinkling candles are scattered across the dining table. Pine cones rest rustically on each exquisite piece of china. Dim lights set a cozy yet enigmatic mood. And an exclusive guest list includes our favorite Jewish superstars: Barbra Streisand and Billy Eichner. Together. Giving thanks. Probably spilling tea about the Golden Age of Broadway. Praise!
An image of the swanky gathering made its way onto social media, sending fans into a tailspin. Thinking about Barbra and Billy feasting and kibitzing together fills us with all kinds of giddy gratitude.
Billy confirmed the get-together with uncharacteristic calm:
Wow. You’re good! I actually did and it was beautiful. Barbra Forever! https://t.co/2U9EXDjiGs

Thanksgiving is over, but the image of Billy and Barbra talking about the live action “Lion King” teaser trailer in an autumnal setting will stay with us for our entire lives. We give thanks to our icons for providing us with this visual feast.

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
