Drop it like it’s Shabbat 😹 Havdallah with Snoop Dogg is the best thing we have seen on the internet in a long time. Video: @nili_salem

Whatever else is being said, seeing Hollywood figures be so loud, proud, and unapologetically Jewish is truly inspiring. Erin Foster, her sister Sara Foster, and Jackie Tohn, who plays Esther on Nobody Wants This, came together to lead Shabbat prayers at the show’s Shabbat celebration. A beautiful moment of Jewish pride. ✡️❤️

We were proud to honor Ethiopia Habtemariam as one of our Ambassadors of Peace. Ethiopia has worked hard to build bridges in the entertainment industry and we applaud her for Ethiopia for hervisionary leadership and commitment to peace. At our red carpet, Ethiopia sends a message to the Jewish community who are dealing with the surge in antisemitism: “None of it is real. We are all human and we are all the same."

A beautiful and deeply moving moment of Jewish pride and solidarity in Hollywood! Academy Award-winning actor Dustin Hoffman joined Israeli singer Ester Rada in singing Israel’s national anthem, Hatikvah, during a special evening at UCLA celebrating the unbreakable bond between the Jewish people and Israel. Among those in attendance were former Hamas hostage Eliya Cohen and his wife, Ziv Aboud, a survivor of the Nova music festival massacre. At a time where so many American Jews are worried about the rise in antisemitism, it is inspiring to see Hollywood legends wearing their Judaism so loudly and proudly.

It was a true honor to celebrate legendary rock icon Gene Simmons at our Ambassadors of Peace Gala. Throughout his remarkable career, Gene has remained unapologetically proud of his Jewish identity, using his voice and platform to challenge convention, speak from the heart, and stand firmly against antisemitism in the entertainment industry and beyond. Thank you, Gene, for your courage, authenticity, and unwavering commitment to standing up for what you believe in.

Netflix’s hit series The Diplomat has paid a touching tribute to Hersh Goldberg-Polin and Aner Shapira, two victims of Hamas’s October 7 attack, in its fourth season. Created by Debora Cahn, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, the series returned for its fourth season last week, with viewers noticing the meaningful tribute. Hersh’s mother, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, shared how moving it is to know that people around the world are working to ensure the stories of the hostages are never erased or forgotten. A small but meaningful gesture honoring the memory of two heroes of the Nova music festival and ensuring their stories continue to be told.

THIS is the message we need to hear from more musicians! Rock legends Mötley Crüe join Metallica in highlighting the power of music to bring people together, regardless of background, beliefs, or political differences. Music should be a source of unity, not a political battleground. Thank you to Vince Neil and the entire band for reminding us that music has the power to build bridges, not divisions.

A 38-year-old musician and mountaineer has been executed in Iran after being accused of supporting Israel and exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. Ali Sina Mostafavi was accused of carrying out armed attacks, but Iranian authorities have not publicly presented independently verifiable evidence linking him to Israeli officials. Human rights groups allege he was tortured into confessing and denied a fair trial. A death sentence following allegations of torture and an unfair trial is a chilling example of the Iranian regime's repression. As executions of political opponents and protesters draw growing international concern, the fate of those who challenge the regime cannot be ignored.

Lynn Harris, one of Creative Community for Peace’s Ambassadors of Peace honorees, shares a powerful message with Jews around the world who are concerned about the alarming rise in antisemitism. Lynn is the acclaimed producer behind some of our most beloved films, including The Notebook, King Richard, Clayface, and The Wrecking Crew.

Live from Creative Community for Peace’s Ambassadors of Peace Gala, where one of our honorees, Erin Foster, creator of the hit Netflix series Nobody Wants This, shares a powerful message with young Jews around the world.

Israeli actress Noa Cohen is speaking out against the growing pressure in Hollywood to boycott Israeli artists and institutions. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter about her latest film Our Loves, which explores the events of October 7, Cohen challenged efforts to exclude artists over political disagreements. "Silencing artists because of government policies closes conversation. And don’t we need to keep that open?" Cohen asked, emphasizing that audiences don't have to agree with a government to listen to the stories of its people. Thank you Noa, for using your platform to defend artistic freedom and the importance of storytelling. Art should build bridges, encourage dialogue, and foster understanding, not division.

A beautiful story from Gwen Stefani, who shares how an encounter with an Israeli Jew inspired her faith and left a lasting impression on her. Gwen believes that this encounter, together with her son's prayers, ultimately played a role in bringing about what she describes as her miracle pregnancy. Such a heartwarming story of faith, hope, and the unexpected ways people can touch our lives. ❤️

Another young Israeli athlete is getting his shot at the NBA! Israeli basketball player Noam Yaacov, 21, has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, taking an important step toward competing in the world's biggest basketball league. While the deal doesn't guarantee him a place on the NBA roster, it opens the door to a potentially career-changing opportunity. Another Israeli talent chasing his dreams on the international stage!

Hey @macklemore, take notes. Metallica frontman James Hetfield shared a powerful message with fans during the band's Las Vegas Sphere residency: Music should bring people together, not divide them. Thanking fans for the time, money, and effort they put into attending concerts, Hetfield emphasized that Metallica isn't interested in pushing political agendas. Instead, the band's focus remains on what brought everyone together in the first place: a shared love of music. Photo: GettyImages

Israeli soccer fans are being banned from attending a match in the Netherlands, not because of anything they have done, but because authorities fear possible confrontations with protesters. Dutch officials have barred Hapoel Beersheba supporters from Thursday’s Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar, classifying it as “very high risk.” The decision comes nearly two years after Israeli soccer fans were violently attacked in Amsterdam. Israel is demanding that the ban be reversed, with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar pressing Dutch authorities to guarantee both entry and safety. Protecting Israeli fans should mean protecting them from violence, not excluding them from the stadium.

Germany and were forced to hide their jewelry and most prized possessions from the Nazis, who were systematically confiscating Jewish property in the years leading up to World War II and the Holocaust. A deeply personal reminder to Hollywood of what Jewish families endured and the extraordinary lengths they went to in order to survive.

.@BoyGeorge at a classic Jewish party, where no celebration is complete without lifting someone up on a chair. 😹 Some traditions are simply too good not to join in on, and it looks like Boy George got the full Jewish party experience!

.@BoyGeorge is making sure the victims and survivors of the Nova massacre are not forgotten. After selling out his November 4 concert in Israel, the Culture Club frontman has announced a second show on November 7, titled “We Will Dance Again,” dedicated to Nova survivors and their families. The concert follows the release of his tribute song honoring those murdered on October 7. When some artists face pressure to distance themselves from Israel, Boy George is choosing to stand with a community still healing from unimaginable tragedy.

In an episode of Call Me Back, Fauda co-creator and actor Lior Raz talks about the BDS movement and how it goes against every value of the art and entertainment industry.
