The Jerusalem Capitals won!!! @theiehl game was at @ubsarena, the home of @nyislanders, and it was so cool to see two Israel hockey teams play to an arena with thousands of people who love and support Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 I had access to the VIP lounge and yes, it was all kosher and the sushi was pretty good 😘

Do you host for Pesach and do all the shopping? Do

Do you host for Pesach and do all the shopping? Do you go away to family or a program?

For all my “out of towners”, I want you to know that I love you and I grew up without anything like this so I promise I’m not showing it off 😘😘 I don’t ever take this for granted. I have a lot of NY friends who grew up with this and don’t understand what it’s like to live without it but to them, I always say we manage, we figure it out, and we have a beautiful holiday no matter how much or how little we have available at our fingertips.

Thank you @alix_earle for not being afraid to open

Thank you @alix_earle for not being afraid to openly support Israel and showing brands that there are consequences!

@ladygaga is coming to Israel on upcoming world tour and while the BDS movement is trying to boycott her, she is not cancelling and is standing strong in her commitment 🙏🏻 What a world we live in when a musician or influencer can’t even say the word Israel without people trying to cancel them 🙏🏻

I said in my stories on Friday that there was no flavored seltzer for Pesach and no gum!! Well I was wrong about the seltzer but the gum we still don’t have 😭😭😭

I know people say “it’s just a week and a half, you’ll be fine without it” and you’re not wrong but I miss flavored seltzer more than I miss bread during Pesach!! What I do now is add sliced limes to my seltzer but I just want to open a crispy cold and bubbly can of seltzer and be happy! Is that too much to ask 😭

So incredible to see Ivan Gluck, 87 year old Holocaust survivor, on the ice at @theiehl Jerusalem v Tel Aviv game in NY!

Ivan was a 7-year-old boy when his family escaped from their small town as hundreds of Jews were rounded up and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp. They lived in a safe-house until the Russian army liberated them.

I am sharing this because I want people to know that no one is perfect, no Jew is perfect, no one of any religion is perfect, and we’re each just doing our best. Judaism doesn’t focus on sin so while I do want to work on being better about not cleaning on Shabbos, lightning isn’t going to strike down on me for being who I am now
