Yup, check this out. There they are — our own Miriam Gabriel and Adrianne Greenberg — all decked out for Hawaii in Florida. Shirts, leis, and a grass skirt on friend Meg.

Of course, it’s all about golf and good fun, too at the Legacy Golf and Tennis Club’s member-guest tournament. Would you believe that some of the aloha revelers even dressed up their golf carts in grass skirts?

Now for the scores. Our Miriam was the hands-down winner of the “closest to the line drive contest.” For this feat, you drive the ball with a mighty swing and, if you do it right, you come three inches from the line set way, way down the fairway. If you’ve ever seen Miriam take a swing, you know not to question that woman’s ability to put the ball exactly — exactly — where she wants it. She might argue, but take it from your Shofar editor, who learned the game at the feet of the master,  no surprise there.

About Adrianne, another champ player, her team was one little stroke away from the winning circle. She may be losing sleep over that darn ball that put on its brakes a quarter-inch from the hole.

All in all, a great day for golf and for fun.

In a ceremony held Saturday, Feb. 24 at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, Barbara Streisand, a director, actor and writer, accepted a lifetime achievement award at the 30th annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG)

awards. She had joined SAG more than six decades ago.

In her acceptance speech, she paid tribute to the Jewish founders of the film industry — Samuel Goldwyn, Louis B. Mayer, and Marcus Loew. “They were all fleeing the prejudice they faced in Eastern Europe simply because of their religion,” she told the crowd at the SAG awards. “They were dreamers, like all of us tonight,” she said. “And now I dream of a world where such prejudice is a thing of the past.”

Jewish actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach was cast as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing, in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. Grimm is one of Marvel’s Jewish characters, having had a bar mitzvah and Jewish wedding in the comics.

Huma Abedin, the former top aide to Hillary Clinton and the ex-wife of disgraced Rep. Anthony Weiner, revealed in a Valentine’s Day post on social media that she’s in a relationship with Alex Soros, the son of George Soros, the Democratic megadonor.

Deni Avdija, the Israeli forward who plays for the Washington Wizards, exploded for 43 points and 14 rebounds on February 14, in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is the first player to record those numbers for the team in nearly a half-century. Alas, in spite of the great numbers Avdija put up, the Wizards lost the game 133-126.

Jewish outfielder Harrison Bader is headed back to New York, this time as a member of the New York Mets. The 29-year-old Bronxville native agreed to a one-year $10.5 million contract.

Bader spent the first five and a half seasons of his baseball career with the St. Louis Cardinals, where he won a Gold Glove in 2021. He was traded to the New York Yankees in 2022, but despite his stellar defense, he struggled at the plate and was cut late in the 2023 season. Bader played his final 14 games with the Cincinnati Reds before becoming a free agent this winter.

Now hear this: For fans of “The Daily Show” — before Trevor Noah’s departure and the rotation of guest hosts — when Jon Stewart ruled late night political comedy, your hero is returning.

Yes, you read that right: Jon Stewart will host his old program on Mondays, at 11 p.m., in a 45-minute format of monologues, interviews, and plenty of gags, beginning on Feb. 12.

Fun ahead.
