My column, Hollywood Stories, features in-depth conversations with prominent Jewish and non-Jewish entertainers who want to express their support for Israel and/or the Jewish community. The interviews delve into their journeys, values, and challenges in navigating an industry that often stigmatizes pro-Israel/Jewish perspectives. Interview subjects are diverse in background, religious observance, and politics. Hollywood Stories highlights our shared identity as Jews and celebrates our achievements.
