THIS WEEK'S EDITION: August 14, 2020

Shabbat Shalom from The Forward,

What's for dinner tonight? A few months ago I would have added to my question "and who's coming over?" Since we can't have guests at the moment, I invite to your Shabbos table (virtually) Joe Biden's vice presidential pick Kamala Harris. Yosef I. Abramowitz shares with us the time Kamala Harris came over for Shabbat dinner at his Jerusalem home. (Personally, I would have loved to have heard this story in person about her Jewish in-laws.)

Switching gears, Nick Cannon (the comedian, rapper, producer and television host) teamed up with ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt this week to write about how Black and Jewish Americans can work together to build bridges. And we also take a dive into Trump's approval ratings in Israel, one of the few countries in the world where he has high numbers.

Also, speaking of bridge building, it is in my opinion that food is one of the best tools you can use to bring people together (I took 6 months off to be a chef on a kibbutz to do just that), and if you're looking for a sure fire recipe look no further than Carly Pildis' family recipe for Tunisian couscous with beef. All of this and more in this week's Shabbat edition!

A gutn shabes,
