Rachel Shukert breaks down what Anne Hathaway’s recent Jewish wedding (omg!) says about the tribe in Tablet Magazine, and the verdict is good. We’re cool! And normal:

And that’s precisely the point. The current vogue for Jewishness, in weddings or otherwise, is less notable for its exoticism—the kind of thing that might seem irresistibly “edgy” to a Crayola-haired pop star who uses that word a lot—than for its normalcy. When Drew Barrymore stands under a chuppah, or Anne Hathaway accompanies her fiancé to Yom Kippur services, or the husbands of Queen Natalie and her lady-in-waiting Rachel Weisz (and believe me, the thoughts I have about Daniel “James Bond” Craig as the ultimate trophy husband could fill a doctoral dissertation) slip on a yarmulke or wrap themselves in a tallis, they’re doing so because it’s normal, and the mainstream nature of the ritual is the key to its desirability. For the first time in the history of America, Jewishness—and not just the bagels-and-lox part—is aspirational.

Another one- for a special friend instagr.am/p/NwAEGjMUZx/

Israeli supermodel and Twitter enthusiast posted a picture of herself modeling a lace bodysuit, with the cryptic—and somewhat counter-intuitive—message, “for a special friend.” In the image, our girl Bar is standing on a grass tennis court, possibly a reference to the London Olympic Games, which she attended with snowboarder Shaun White.

Just who is this special friend? And why does Bar think she needs to tweet sexy photos to get someone’s attention? And couldn’t she just have sent a text? Jewcy’s Bar Refaeli Investigative Squad (BRIS) is on the case.
