By Philissa Cramer (JTA) — Jewish communities around the world are reactivating their refugee-support networks as they prepare to help resettle Afghans who have fled the Taliban takeover of their country. In recent weeks, tens of thousands of Afghans have been airlifted from Kabul after the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan with the U.S. exit from the country after 20 years. Many will spend time in another country while they wait to be admitted to the United States, but some are already arriving – and needing support as they adapt to a sud...
‘Enthusiasm’ remains uncurbed: Larry David’s 11th season with HBO debuts in October By Ron Kampeas (JTA) — Will there be a Martha’s Vineyard episode, and if there is, who plays Alan Dershowitz?

It is the prayer...
(JTA) - Talk about goals: Luke Hughes has become the third brother in his hockey-playing Jewish family to be drafted in the first round of the NHL Draft. The New Jersey Devils picked the 17-year-old defenseman fourth overall in Friday's selections, making the Hughes brothers of Orlando, Florida, the first American family to have three siblings drafted in the National Hockey League's first round. Jack, a center, was chosen first overall by the Devils in 2019 - earning the distinction as the...
(JTA) - Even before its $8.35 million renovation, the Manchester Jewish Museum was a remarkably eye-catching institution. Housed in a former synagogue on a busy road in an industrial part of northern England's largest city, it stood out from the car washes, supermarkets and hardware stores of Cheetham Hill Road thanks to its red-brick facade. The look marries Victorian architecture and the Moorish style favored by the members of the Portuguese-Spanish Sephardic Jewish community that built it in...
