No Bernie, no Hillary. While controversy and juicy gossip stories don’t roll out of the Democratic National Convention the way they did out of the Republican National Convention, the DNC still experienced some drama thanks to Bernie Sanders’ die-hard supporters, who booed their own messiah candidate after he urged them to vote Hillary. Later on, Sarah Silverman, herself a Sanders supporter, told the ‘Bernie or Bust’ crowd that they’re being ridiculous if they’re not going to support Hillary. She does have a point – I mean, who else are they going to support, Trump? I thought they were socialists?

Brutus, Marc Antony and Caesar like you’ve never seen them before. A current rendition of William Shakespeare’s iconic play Julius Caesar, playing until Aug. 4 in Montreal, features an all-female cast. The play is set in a ‘post-apocalyptic’ world where men have been ‘mostly eradicated’ from war, with the male parts being taken by warrior-like women and the female parts belonging to women who are ‘softer’ and less assertive. The play is the brainchild of Jewish playwright Karen Oberer.

Keeping kosher in prison ain’t easy. Jewish death row inmate William Harry Meece in Kentucky is suing in federal court after he was removed, unfairly he alleges, from a kosher meals program following his consumption of an unlabelled meal of rotisserie chicken. Meece reportedly violated a rule that requires inmates receiving special meals to strictly adhere to their religious diets, as kosher meals cost some 72 per cent more to prepare. Roughly 20,000 inmates in the U.S. falsely identify as Jewish in order to receive kosher meals. Meece is currently awaiting the death penalty after being found guilty for the murder of three members of an Adair County family. Meece, however, claims that he’s innocent.

Seriously, though. Enough with the Pokemon. Pokemon Go has become a craze all over the world and particularly in Israel, where a 17-year-old Ashdod teen nearly drowned this week after trying to catch them all. Doctors have warned users not to use the app near the beach, but what I’m wondering is: wasn’t he afraid of getting his phone wet by going into the water with it? He realizes Pokemon Go wouldn’t work on a broken phone, right?

Israeli Action, Jackson. An Israeli film about an underground fighter who suffers from a rare condition that prevents him from feeling pain – and thus decides to enter the world of underground fighting – has won the award for Best Action Film at the 2016 Comic-Con in San Diego. It looks badass.

Iron Dome gets mini. If you’re an aficionado of toy cars and collectibles then prepare to add a new one to your collection: the mini iron dome. “This is an accurately designed miniature representation of the original and is meant for children or toy car collectors,” its designer, Hanan Shpetrik, said. The toy is comprised of three trucks: a launcher, a battle management control unit, and a radar, just like the IDF!

Chanukahmas? Christmakkah? Move over Thanksgivikkuh, there’s an even better merger of Jewish and Christian holidays taking place in 2016. That’s right, the first night of Chanukah falls precisely on Dec. 24, 2016, a.k.a. Christmas Eve. That means that the Festival of Lights will be celebrated from the 24th to the 31st, coincidentally the same time our Gentile friends celebrate the Christmas holiday season. One thing that sucks about this, though: does this mean Jewish Xmas is cancelled? No Chinese food and a movie????
