Larry David’s show “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is doing pretty, pretty, pretty good.

In the 76th annual Emmy Awards, the show—which often draws on Jewish content in its outlandish gags—is a nominee for outstanding casting for a comedy series, outstanding lead actor in a comedy series (Larry David), outstanding comedy series and outstanding sound mixing for a comedy or drama series (half-hour) and animation.

Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear”) and Paul Rudd (“Only Murders in the Building”), both of whom are Jewish, are also up for Emmys, as are comedians Seth Meyers, who is of Jewish ancestry, and Jon Stewart, who is Jewish.

“I think they’re much more susceptible to being targeted if a public official wants to target them, if a community wants to target them,” Rep. Josh Gottheimer told JNS.
The reversal “sends an unfortunate signal at a time of rising antisemitism and sustained efforts to isolate Israel economically,” Evan R. Bernstein, CEO of B’nai B’rith International, told JNS.
Israel’s foreign minister called it a historic day for ties between the two countries and an important day for the capital.
Mark Levine “pledged many times to restore New York City’s investment in Israel Bonds and had it right when he called them ‘a long-term safe and secure investment,’” an Israel Bonds spokesman told JNS.
