Jewish Personalities: June 2008 Archives
Amy Fine Collins, who often writes on fashion, and who administrates the International Best Dressed List, has written an exclusive web piece for VanityFair.com called "Jewish Like Me" about her own feelings and experiences, and coming to terms with her Jewish identity.
Like many journalists, sometimes the best stories you have to tell, are the ones you avoid, that force you to discuss uncomfortable moments in your life and expose others -- going to those places and writing about them sometimes produces great writing, great stories (and in the case of the Judd Apatow gang, great comedies --but that's another story). Here, Collins has written a wonderful piece that deserves to be read far and wide, and she deserves kudos for doing do. Brava! and, more to the point, Mazel Tov!
