Noa for girls and Noam for boys were the most popular names for Jewish babies born in Israel in 2012.
In a new venture into presenting the arts, American Jewish University (AJU) will hold its first-ever Geller Festival of the Arts this summer, drawing names like Joan Rivers and Gideon Raff, the Israeli creator of “Homeland.”
