Nicki Minaj continues to be something the entertainment world rarely produces anymore — a true unicorn.
She’s one of the only global superstars who has stood up for the Jewish community without flinching, even when it wasn’t popular, and she’s now one of the few using her platform to speak out about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

While Hollywood stays quiet, she refuses to.
While others calculate the “risks,” she chooses humanity.

You don’t have to agree with everything she says to recognize the courage in what she’s doing.
Nicki isn’t picking sides — she’s defending people. She’s reminding the world that compassion isn’t selective.

And in a moment when silence is the trend, her voice is a lifeline.

This week I received an award called the “Hollywood Icon” from the Women’s Guild Cedars- Sinai. It was given to me in recognition of the work I’ve done to raise awareness about women’s health, but behind all the glamour and applause, one moment kept flashing through my mind: the moment when my life came to a sudden halt because of a massive blood clot in my brain.

It was a terrifying and shaking experience that reminded me how fragile life is, and how essential awareness of women’s health truly is. It’s not a luxury- it’s a necessity.

I’m sharing this not to create drama, but to remind every woman: listen to your body. Don’t ignore the signs, don’t postpone check-ups, and don’t feel guilty about putting your health first.

And even though I was the one receiving that particular award, the real heroes were the ones not on a stage. They are the people working in hospitals, in emergency rooms - the doctors, nurses, technicians, and medical teams who devote their lives to saving others, day after day, hour after hour. The award truly belongs to them.
Thank you to my incredible team of Cedar Sinai doctors who saved my life, and to the nurses, the residents, the pharmacists who all collectively supported in my recovery. Especially,

Dr.Shlee Song
Dr.Mara Ayodello
Dr.Michael Alexander
Dr.Anthony Chin
Dr.Larry Platt
Dr.David Hoffman

I’m forever grateful 🤍🙏

160 young German leaders — including Muslim activists, left-wing organizers, and rising political voices — just spent a week in Israel on a program designed to do something simple but rare: show the real Israel, not the TikTok version.

They arrived on a brightly painted charter flight marking 60 years of diplomatic relations. But the heart of the trip was far deeper — closing a growing knowledge gap among young Germans who often see Israel only through the lens of conflict.

Israel’s ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, put it bluntly: “There is an alarming amount of ignorance.” Many in the younger generation don’t know Israel’s history, its multicultural reality, or even the basics of the Holocaust. They know only the headlines, not the humanity.

This “Plane Project,” funded by Israel’s Foreign Ministry, is part of a much bigger effort — hundreds of delegations this year bringing future leaders, influencers, and change-makers to see Israel with their own eyes.

Because once they meet the people, hear the stories, and walk the streets, something shifts.
Real understanding replaces stereotypes.
Human connection replaces noise.
And that’s how you shape a generation.

More than 2,000 Jewish leaders gathered in Washington for the GA amid soaring antisemitism, unprecedented security threats and a historic 908 million dollar campaign for Israel, as federations launch 'Rebuild Israel' and fight for Jewish safety at home

***
More than 2,000 Jewish leaders from across North America, the largest number since before the pandemic, gathered this week in Washington for the annual General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA). This year’s GA was far from a routine philanthropic event. It took place against the backdrop of dramatic events shaking the Jewish community in the United States: unprecedented levels of antisemitism and the election victory of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.

“The ground beneath our feet is burning,” many participants told me during the conference’s intense three days. And still, anyone who was there felt one dominant thing: a powerful show of strength by American Jewry, one not seen in years.

According to
A Hxmas terrorist used a Gaza humanitarian aid route to cross into Israeli-controlled territory and open fire on IDF troops, according to Israel. He was killed on the spot. In response, Israel struck across the Strip and says it eliminated five senior Hxmas terrorists for violating the ceasefire yet again.

Jerusalem now warns that the truce itself is on the line, accusing Hxmas of repeated attacks, executing civilians in Gaza, and ignoring President Trump’s 20-point plan. Israel is demanding Hxmas return the bodies of three Israeli hostages and finally disarm to allow Gaza’s full demilitarization.

Omri, the brother of Ran Gvili, shares that this past month has been one of the hardest he has ever known.
“Not that the last two years were calm, but everything has become more intense. Your pulse shoots up in seconds. Every moment there’s another update. You can’t sleep all night. A fallen hostage is brought in and they send the body for identification, and until they tell us who it is, I don’t sleep. It’s been a brutal month.

It’s just so much like Rani to be the last one, to make sure everyone else comes home first. That’s who he is. I dreamed he came and told me he’d come from Gaza to rest. I watched him sleeping, and then he woke up and said, ‘Okay, I’m going back to Gaza.’ He told me he can’t be here while they’re still there. ‘When they come back, I’ll come back too.’ That’s Rani.”

Rani always took care of others.
Now it’s our turn to take care of him, of Dror, and of Sudthisak,
and bring them home for closure and a dignified, proper burial.

Goldie Hawn turned 80 on November 21— and the glow is as real as ever. ✨

Beyond the movies, the laughter, and the iconic sparkle, Goldie has always spoken openly about the part of her identity that shaped her worldview: her Jewish roots.

She’s talked about being raised in a “deeply Jewish household,” where Shabbat dinners, Jewish humor, and a sense of responsibility to others were woven into who she became. She’s said that the values she grew up with — compassion, joy, curiosity, resilience — guided her every step, on-screen and off.

Goldie has often credited her Jewish upbringing for her moral compass, her love of learning, and her belief in showing up for others. In her words, “I was raised to care about people. That’s what my Jewish values gave me.”

At 80, she’s still teaching the world how to lead with kindness, stay curious, and never lose your sense of wonder.

Happy birthday to a woman whose light — and Jewish heart — never dims. 💛✨

David Gilmour is done being vague. In new interviews, he says he will “absolutely not” perform with Roger Waters again — not with someone who praises autocratic dictators and shrugs off abuses toward women and the LGBTQ+ community.

And this didn’t come out of nowhere.
Last year, when Gilmour’s wife, Polly Samson publicly accused Waters of antisemitism and of aligning with authoritarian regimes, Gilmour backed her completely.

Now he’s making it official:
This breakup isn’t about music. It’s about values.

Simon Cowell just put a little tikkun olam into the world — donating more than $32K to help shut down a dog meat farm in South Korea and rescue hundreds of dogs from unthinkable conditions.

Because of his support, these animals are now on their way to safe homes where they’ll finally know care, warmth, and love.

Cowell has long spoken about his Jewish heritage, and here he’s living it — repairing the world in the most literal way: saving lives.

It’s always powerful to see someone use their platform and resources to create real change. Compassion like this ripples far beyond one moment. 🐾❤️
PS All of the dogs pictured are his.
