2 weeks ago | heyalma.com | Evelyn Frick

Shoshana von Blanckensee's debut novel is the most queer Jewish fiction I've ever read. It's also one of the best books I've ever read. Set in 1996, “Girls Girls Girls” follows 18-year-old Jewish dyke Hannah as she and her girlfriend escape their oppressive lives on Long Island for San Francisco. But even in the gay Promised Land, is Hannah truly “frei”? And if not, how does she build a meaningful life and identity for herself as a Jewish lesbian?

You wanna guess the color of *check’s notes* Nat Wolff‘s underwear? Yesterday, gossip site Deuxmoi shared photos of Billie, 23, and the 30-year-old Jewish actor kissing on a balcony in Venice.

I would be remiss to omit that I was taken with each of the remarkable books I read and panelists I came to know in preparation for the panel.

Well, at least one good thing came from “Don’t Worry, Darling.” Jewish Tony winner Ari’el Stachel and actress Kiki Layne, who met on the set of the ill-fated Olivia Wilde movie in 2020, are engaged!But the couple, being the creatives they are, didn’t announce their pending nuptials with a run-of-the-mill press release.
