The Israeli Election Results Are Heartbreaking But We Can’t Give Up

Jordana Horn

This morning, as I awoke to news that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secured a fifth term, I scrolled through my phone as my Israeli friends and former colleagues pontificated, opined,… and hazarded guesses as to what yesterday’s elections will mean for the Jewish state. Many of my American friends — some who understand the nuances of parliamentary democracy, and some who don’t — re-lived, on social media, their trauma over the November 2016 American election. As for me, I feel wiped out. I’m sick of… >> Read More

This Jewish Trans Activist Is Also a Single Abba

Kveller Staff

On this week's episode of Call Your Mother, Jordana Horn and Shannon Sarna speak with trans activist and Jewish dad Rafi Daugherty, who gives us the scoop about how he fulfilled his lifelong dream of… becoming a parent. Rafi was born a girl, transitioned to a man, and then carried and gave birth to two healthy children. Rafi shares what it's like to be a public voice in the Jewish community for trans-identified individuals, some of his own hangups about pregnancy, and the exhausting but rewarding burdens of being a… >> Read More

Here’s What the College Admissions Scandal Says About Us — Not Celebrities

Jordana Horn

“All College Admissions Are A Pay-To-Play Scandal!” “A slew of CEOs charged in college entrance cheating scam!” “The College-Admission Scandal and the Warped Fantasy of the American… Scam.” That’s just a smattering of the headlines that have been blowing up the internet, ever since the news broke yesterday of a massive scandal in which hundreds of well-to-do parents paid to have people take standardized tests for their children and gave bribes to college coaches to “recruit” their children, among other decidedly non-kosher activities...all… >> Read More

Having Kids Will Age You. Then Again, Maybe It Won’t.

Jordana Horn

I’m 45, and now that I’ve been a mom for 15 ½ years, I’ve shed a lot of the naiveté I brought to the parenting table when I first got here. One of the many, many ways in which I have changed… as a parent is that I now bring a healthy dose of skepticism to “scientific studies” of parenting. For example, take a study conducted three years ago — and more recently making the rounds on social media — that reportedly shows how the more children a woman gives birth to, the slower her cells are… >> Read More

Since Parkland, Valentine’s Day Has a Whole New Meaning

Jordana Horn

When I was a kid, I eagerly looked forward to Valentine’s Day. After all, it would obviously be the day my true classmate love — whomever that was, who clearly had been pining for me in absentia… — would finally step out of the shadows. Spoiler alert: That never happened (although one year I did receive a very nice stuffed animal anonymously placed in my car, which in retrospect is actually somewhat creepy). But the hope and anticipation of passion — would someone send me a red carnation, that apex of affection?— gave… >> Read More
