The Blogs: It's Open Season for Jews

2 weeks ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Julie Shapiro

“It is open season on Jews.” Meghan McCain couldn’t have characterized the current state of affairs more accurately, or really, devastatingly. I’m not Israeli. I didn’t serve in the IDF. I didn’t vote for Netanyahu. And yet, I’m a sitting duck any time I celebrate my Jewish faith or heritage in America.

The Blogs: How America Failed the American-Israeli Hostages

2 months ago | blogs.timesofisrael.com | Julie Shapiro

One of America’s most significant foreign policy failures in recent times occurred under the Biden administration in the days immediately following October 7, 2023. This statement is not intended to be political. In full transparency, I voted for President Biden in 2020 and did not vote for President Trump in 2024. I am not a single-issue voter and have voted for both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates over the last 20 years.

Mar 7, 2024 | thewell.northwell.edu | Julie Shapiro

What do people like about the winter?! It’s cold. It’s gray. It’s dreary. It makes me mopey and sad. I’ve never been evaluated by a doctor about these feelings, but I’m pretty sure I suffer from seasonal affective disorder, aka SAD. So, I did some investigating to see if there’s anything I can do to combat these winter blues.
Full Of Regrets: My Awkward Food Relationship

Feb 14, 2024 | thewell.northwell.edu | Julie Shapiro

There are few things in this world that bring me more joy than eating. I love trying new foods and discovering the tastes and aromas of other cultures. My favorite group activity is connecting with friends and family over a delicious meal. But food also plays an unhealthy role in my life. I use food to entertain myself when I’m bored, and to comfort myself when I’m uncomfortable.
