Bassist band member Este Haim married Jewish tech entrepreneur Jonathan Levin at Hotel El Roblar in Ojai, Calif., on Dec. 31.

Haim, 39, is the oldest of three sisters who make up the eponymous rock band, HAIM. Her sisters, Danielle and Alana, were bridesmaids in matching blue gowns. The bride wore a modest, custom Louis Vuitton gown with a removable structured jacket.

HAIM, which formed in 2007, released its first album, “Days Are Gone,” in 2013. As children, the sisters played in a family band called Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents, Mordechai (“Moti”) and Donna Haim. Their father is a retired Israeli soccer player who played for Maccabi Jaffa and Maccabee Los Angeles, and a musician who played drums in an Israel Defense Forces band and for the Tzadikov Choir.

Levin, co-founder and current CEO of Chainalysis, was vice president of the Bristol Jewish Society at the University of Bristol in England while a student, according to his LinkedIn profile. During his leadership of the Jewish student society, Levin co-hosted and wrote a Muslim-Jewish radio show for Salaam Shalom Media.

In a 2022 testimony about digital assets and blockchain technology to the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, Levin noted that his family “fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe and Lithuania to look for a better life in the West.”

While details about the New Year’s Eve wedding ceremony remain under wraps, photos have circulated of celebrity guests Taylor Swift—HAIM has collaborated with her on the song “No Body, No Crime” and performed with her on stage during the latter’s recent Eras Tour—and Stevie Nicks. HAIM teased an upcoming song collaboration with the former Fleetwood Mac singer in June.

“This could have been the greatest terrorist tragedy in America since 9/11,” Eric Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, told JNS.
The outcomes of the primaries show that “being pro-America, pro-Israel is good policy and good politics,” the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
The memo calls on the party to be aware of “the strategic goal of groypers across the nation” to take over the Republican party from within.
The New York City mayor said that he is “grateful that Leqaa has been released this evening from ICE custody after more than a year in detention for speaking up for Palestinian rights.”
“I hope all the folks from Temple Israel know that we’re praying for them,” the U.S. vice president said. “We’re thinking about them.”
The co-author of the K-12 law told JNS that “this attempt to undermine crucial safety protections for Jewish children at a time when antisemitic hate and violence is rampant and rising is breathtaking.”
