Our showbiz reporter Mrs Frankowitz on Zac Efron. Not literally
Never have I been prouder to be a Jewish yenta than this week, when I overheard Sanjay in the Post Office saying how attractive we all are.
I asked him if he was havin’ a laugh, but he said no. He then told me that 10 percent of FHM’s 100 sexiest women this year are Jews. I said, “What the bloody hell is goin’ on?”, then swallowed my strawberry Hubba Bubba.
Well done yentas, we have made it into the holy grail of beauty stakes. *Burp*
On the list was a model called Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley who Hetty says is Richard Whiteley’s daughter.
I didn’t think Richard was MOT [member of tribe] and Rosie doesn’t look like she’d be very into words, so I think Hetty is wrong about this one. Nigella Lawson was also on the list, which I can’t really be bothered to write anything about because I’m sick to the stomach of hearing her name.
In other news, my two favourite actors Zac Efron and Seth Rogen are to star in a new film together. What luck! I feel the mega-talented Zac has grown up enough for it to now be okay for me to say – I’d give him a high school bloomin’ musical.
The film is called Bad Neighbours and it is out this week. I have had dreadful neighbours for years called Mary and Peter, who think it’s funny to ask me to turn the volume of my telly down, every night, so I really am looking forward to this one.
Remember that small bloke, Paul Simon? He and his wife Edie Brickell went to court last week after both being arrested for a domestic dispute. What is wrong with these famous people? Can’t they just enjoy being rich, famous and very small without yelling at each other?
I like that song You Can Call Me Al very much. Hetty sometimes sings it when we have tomatoes on toast, but replaces Al with ‘Hetty’ which we agree sounds much better.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
