Make a date with a nice Jewish dog.
The first-ever Pawsitively Jewish Calendar features Instagram-famous pups hailing from as far as Israel and Canada celebrating Jewish pride, and dog lovers can fetch a copy in time for the high holidays.
Picking the pups was a tough task for calendar co-creator Rabbi Robyn Frisch, who runs the social media group Mazel Pups.
“I don’t even know these dogs, but it’s like choosing between my own kids,” she said.
Upper East Side pooch Shayna Maydele, a 5-year-old Coton de Tulear whose name means “beautiful girl” in Yiddish, graces January, posing with challah and wearing a yarmulke while celebrating Shabbat.
Shayna, who has more than 21,000 Instagram followers, was named “possibly the most Jewish dog in New York,” and has become somewhat of a celebrity around the Big Apple, with fans asking for selfies with the fur ball.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
