Power Nap #147
Hello friends! Coming at you with a book, movie, show, and podcast you might enjoy! I will do a “Summer Faves” (aka June, July, and August Faves all rolled into one) newsletter next week but wanted to send these on ahead: Book: Lady Tremaine. Hannah already touched on her love for this book in our May Faves and I want to double down. SO GOOD!!! Movie: Nate and I recently watched Pressure (on Peacock) and I really love a movie that tells a story and also teaches me some history in the process. Plus, Andrew Scott might be one of the best, most underrated actors of our time.
Acid blockers and food allergy, SPACE with Robyn Isman, and a wild three-year-old New format this week: one study, one conversation, one listener question. Tell me in the comments if it works. Sponsor: Novaferrum.
Thanks to those of you who tuned in to this morning’s live session, and thanks to those of you who sent in questions. Here (above) is the recording for those who missed it. I know I’ve said this before, but I always find these live videos a bit funny talking to my computer screen without seeing your faces. I’m curious to hear your feedback. Do you like this live video format on Substack? Or do you prefer the old Zoom sessions where we could see each other and you could also share? Please let me know your thoughts. In today’s session, I shared a few updates and answered your questions.
One of the questions I get asked most is “can you tell me about your necklaces?” And honestly, sometimes I get a little embarrassed answering. My tennis necklace and my Cartier piece were both things I bought myself at significant moments, the kind of purchases that mean something bigger than the jewelry itself. I earned those. I should be proud of them! But here’s the thing I actually want you to know: you do not need to spend what I spent to get the look.
These Celebrities Got Their Start at Jewish Day School
In their 2023 study of American Jews, the Pew Research Center found that nearly a quarter of all Jews in the United States attended yeshiva or Jewish day school. All-in-all, that’s a fairly significant number of people in the American Jewish community whose education was geared towards excellence in secular subjects while providing them a deeper connection to Judaism! It’s no surprise then that there are a decent number of Jewish celebrities (American or otherwise) who are on that list.
101 Best Riddles For Kids That Won’t Be Too Hard To Solve
Not every riddle is an easy riddle, but there are plenty of riddles for kids that all ages can appreciate and maybe even solve. A riddle will ask an (often quirky) question, which requires an answer and might even leave you scratching your head. In fact, some riddles can take days or weeks to figure out because they’re just so thought-provoking and profound. But since these are for your little chicken nuggets, we’ve decided not to do that. Instead, we’ve scoured the internet for the best kid-friendly, brain-teasing verbal puzzles we could find.
