(JTA)-Will lightning strike thrice? Who better to ask than Thunder? That would be Thunder Levin, the writer of the campy, over-the-top "Sharknado" movies-the latest of which, "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!," premieres on July 22. For those unfamiliar with the "Sharknado"oeuvre, the films center on a strange weather phenomenon: A hurricane that precipitates a tornado. Together they suck up live, hungry sharks that subsequently rain down on humanity. In a kind of Darwinian miracle, during those few...

I recommend serving this fish with my crispy rice cakes with saffron crust. This is a wonderful...
KFAR QASIM, Israel (JTA)-The group of Jewish-Israelis sat in a semicircle on the thick, red carpet of the mosque. The women wore headscarves; everyone's feet were bare. They had come to this Arab town in central Israel to experience a slice of Ramadan, the monthlong daytime fast observed by Muslims that ends this week. But before they left the mosque to visit Kfar Qasim's Ramadan market-a nightly, open-air food bazaar-tour guide Shawkat Amer sounded a note of reassurance. Amer told the crowd...
