In 2012, I moved to Los Angeles and immediately knew I wanted to write for the @jewishjournal and contacted David Suissa, the publisher. We met for coffee. He told me I should interview converts for the paper, which I did -- and I absolutely loved it.
Fast forward, I began freelancing for the JJ on a regular basis, and I got my first cover story on Mayim Bialik. I then did cover stories on Bill Maher and the legendary Shul on the Beach and many other wonderful places. I won awards for my coverage. I served as community editor for the paper for four years and wrote inspirational columns on my conversion, which ended up being the basis for my new memoir.
Fast forward, and today, thanks to my friend @orelayala and David Suissa, I am on the cover of the Jewish Journal. Thank you @jonahlightphoto for the beautiful headshot!
It's a dream come true.
I am so grateful.
Thank you Hashem for this incredible blessing.

Our cover story this week: “One Man’s Show” — Meir Fenigstein on his life’s work and the journey behind the Israeli Film Festival - The Jewish Journal.

Interview with Director Eran Riklis on His New Film, Reading Lolita in Tehran, Based on the Bestselling Novel by Azar Nafisi – The Jewish Journal

At closing night of the 10th annual Israeli-American Council (IAC) Summit in Florida, two Israeli-American billionaires — on opposite sides of the American political spectrum — sat down for an interview moderated by Shawn Evenhaim, IAC Board Member and Chairman Emeritus.
Haim Saban, a well-known supporter of the Democratic Party and, during the 2024 election, Kamala Harris, and Dr. Miriam Adelson, a major backer of President Trump, discussed Israel’s standing with the U.S. government, the regional landscape and the influence of the Jewish community.
Saban warned about the U.S.’s lack of understanding regarding security assistance to Israel, emphasizing that it serves American interests as well. “We’re talking about $3.8 billion a year … agreed for 10 years on the condition that Israel spend all of it in the U.S.,” he said. “It subsidizes the entire defense industry, creates jobs, and even among lawmakers, awareness of this is low. It’s our role to keep reminding them how important this alliance is.”

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed?

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
