Style Wars: 6 Tips To Maximise Your Own Brand Power
The power of style and self branding plays an ever increasing role not just with our own and international political leaders but for all of us. What tips can we take home to keep front and center strategies when it comes to the power of fashion? Here are my 6 tips to maximise your own brand power… 1. Update but don’t alienate If we have a look at Hillary Rodham Clinton’s changing hairstyles overall there has been, to a point, a consistency with various contoured bobs, flips and fringes.
CALL IT SLEEP by Henry Roth Read by George Guidall
The most challenging passage for the narrator of this acclaimed novel occurs when ten-year-old David flees a family catastrophe. Guidall's empathetic handling of David's disjointed thoughts, and the meaning he brings to the fragments of harsh dialogue David hears, helps the listener experience the character's profound turmoil.
Opinion: Does CBS Have a Jewish Problem?
I appreciate that NCIS is a work of fiction, but surely there’s no room for discredited cliches and anti-Semitic tropes in any context, even fictitious television dramas. By Henry Roth, Special to United with Israel I used to be a big fan of the CBS drama ‘NCIS’ but that changed when their producers decided that the most villainous and hostile enemy of America was … wait for it … Israel.
United with Israel
How on earth does a person raised in the Jewish faith grovel before Roger Waters, one of the most vociferous and inflammatory anti-Semites around? Big headlines last week said that Roger Waters turned down Mark Zuckerberg’s request to use “Another Brick in the Wall” in an Instagram ad campaign. Firstly, one has to question Zuckerberg’s judgment in thinking that Instagram users are going to be swayed by 40-year-old music sung by senior citizens they’ve never heard of.
Weekender Recommendations: The Kathleen Collins Film Canon
Re-seeing Black Hollywood’s Rockland Roots: Rivertown Film Society Hosts Local Premiere of Kathleen Collins’ Film Canon by Juliana Roth “She’s a Rocklander,” Sam Waymon, local actor, composer, and brother of Nina Simone, tells me when I ask him about Rivertown Film Society’s upcoming premiere of the late Kathleen Collins’ films, Losing Ground (1982) and The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy (1980) in the county where they were set and largely made.
White On White: Oscars Frocks and Shocks
White came from nowhere. Predictions of bold colour, shimmer, and neutrals were taken over by a wave of purity and innocence. However, this time, there was a play with pure whites and sexy silhouettes. The red carpet ignited with fashion forward looks and style that beheld the multimillion dollar advertising tags attached to the celebrities and exposure created by worldwide coverage.

This Week’s ‘Misguided Jew Award’
Please step forward, Senators Sanders and Feinstein, and accept this award in recognition of your unflagging efforts to damage Israel’s interests and reputation. Guess I didn’t have to worry about finding worthy candidates for this prize.

For Jews Who Remain in Europe, the Future Looks Bleak
Even the most vile and shameful anti-Semitic depictions are no longer beyond the pale on the Continent. Several months ago, I wrote about the bleak prospects for Europe’s Jewish communities (https://worldisraelnews.com/opinion-the-future-of-european-jewry/), but given recent events, it’s clear that I underestimated the gravity and imminence of the existential threats.

Cultural Appropriation - Jews and Christmas Music
We’re told by our progressive brethren that it’s wrong to appropriate the symbols or behavior or appearance of other cultures. In other words, white people should not be wearing clothing associated with a particular group that is not their own, nor should they be accepting theatrical roles portraying people of another culture.
Why This Bad Jew Loves Chabad
Like so many of my fellow North American Jews, I am proud of my heritage but I am not terribly observant. I always attend High Holiday services and I make the occasional appearance for special events or commemorations, but no conventional synagogue would survive for very long if they had to depend on people like me.
Virtue Signalling in the Face of the Pittsburgh Tragedy
Irony abounds. After Robert Bowers was wounded and captured by the police, he was taken to Allegheny General Hospital where the doctors and nurse who first treated him were all Jewish. It is truly a testament to their professionalism that they treated Bowers as they would have treated any other person who needed their help.
Stan Mikita and My Father
When my parents immigrated to Canada in the early 50s, they were determined that we would become ‘good’ Canadians and that meant accepting Canadian culture and practices, no matter how different they were than their previous experiences (given they were Holocaust survivors, that was a good thing). Regardless of their personal history, and the importance of certain religious or cultural practices in their lives, they clearly understood that the onus was on them to acclimatize to their new reality.
Jewish Tourism
Listen up, my fellow Jews. Before you plan your next vacation, don’t you think it only makes sense to avoid those countries that are unfriendly or downright hostile to Jews (oftentimes carefully hidden behind a pretense of being anti-Israel rather than anti-Semitic), especially when there are more than enough wonderful countries where you will be welcomed and respected?
A Prodigal Struggle with Demons
When Henry Roth’s debut novel, Call It Sleep, was published in 1934, critics judged it second as a work of fiction, and first as a work of anthropology. An autobiographical account of immigrant Jewish life on the Lower East Side, the book was praised in the New York Herald Tribune as “the most accurate and profound study of an American slum childhood that has yet appeared”; the New York Times reviewer wrote that it “has done for the East Side what James T.
The One Israel Fund
Yotam Ovadia, a 31-year-old father of two, was fatally stabbed last week by a Palestinian teenager. The attack was horrific, inhumane and utterly unfathomable to those of us who live in the relative safety of North America. But the attack did not take place in a vacuum.
