JEWISH. INDEPENDENT. NONPROFIT.
Get ready for Aly Raisman — as you’ve never seen her before. The Olympic gold medalist is showing off almost every inch of her lithe body in a sexy preview of her Sports Illustrated swimsuit.

As Us Weekly likes to tell us, “they’re just like us!” Celebrities apparently do things that regular folks do, like go to the grocery store, make a coffee run, drive a car or change a diaper. But when it comes to eating, it would seem that gorgeous supermodels definitely don’t do as much of it…
Jews aren’t exactly famous for their athletic prowess — the punch line of many a joke, including this classic from “Airplane!” But in honor of Hanukkah, Sports Illustrated is generously celebrating “prominent Jewish athletes,” compiling an online compendium of top Jewish sports stars from over the past 70 years.

Why? Certainly not because of Gradkowski’s quarterback rating of 66 over an inconsistent 27-game career. No, it seemed for…
If you thought Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli’s appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in 2007 stirred things up, wait until you see this: The Huffington Post just released photos of Refaeli’s cover for next month’s Esquire — and this time there’s not even a bikini. Completely nude and covered in what seems…
Back as a bored Hebrew school kid in suburban Chicago, I passed the time by staring at the map of Israel that hung on every classroom wall in my synagogue. Although I’d never traveled there, I knew the shape and topography of the country remarkably well — the ironically shrimp-shaped swath of brown, ringed by…
