Food for Thought
Given that the Jewdar family is about to make a trip the Holy Land for the elder Jewdar boy's bar mitzvah, we have been following with some interest the recent controversy over rising cottage cheese prices.
Tit For Tat
As thousands of Syrians flee to Turkey, as refugee camps fill in on both sides of the border, and as reports are coming out that armed men (presumably from the Syrian government) are preventing the Red Crescent from entering the camps on the Syrian side, it seems like a golden opportunity for Israel.
But He Plays One in the Movies
We'd thought for sure that Aronofsky would hook up first, and with a Jewess, if only because he packed Black Swan with so many (Portman, Kunis, Ryder) you'd think it was a JDate promo.
She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not
A non-Jew goes on a bad vacation, it simply becomes something they mention among their friends when the subject of vacations comes up; a Jew has a bad vacation, it becomes cause for an outpouring of angst about their relationship to the Jewish state.
Alice in Wonderland

Jewdar's preferred solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was always pretty simple and straightforward--all you needed was for all the super-hardcore Zionists living in the Far West Bank (by which we mean Bergen County, New Jersey) to trade their homes with Palestinians living in the West Bank.
Israel Blows Another PR Opportunity
We understand the symbolism--Jewish cutie Sarah Silverman sharing a stage with 1/2 Arab cutie Shakira
Putting the ‘Natal’ in ‘Natalie’
Word on the street is that Natalie Portman (and her husband, the French guy, but who cares about him?) has just brought another Jew into the world.
Leonard Stern [Verb]
Jewdar likes to scan the obits to see what Jews have died who've made their mark on American culture.
Come Along with Xu
It's been a long time since jokes about Jews and Chinese food have been funny, but every now and then something comes along
