Olympic Heroines
The Jewish heroine of the Olympic
Games is, of course, gymnast
Aly Raisman, 17, who won team
gold, an individual gold in floor
exercise and an
individual bronze
on the balance
beam. Her fam-
ily rabbi, Keith
Stern, speaking
to the New York
Post, said, "She's
Raisman
very proud and
upfront about
being Jewish ... her Jewish heri-
tage is in everything that she does
...she's a sister-type who is a moth-
er hen to all her younger siblings. I
can't wait to have her at the tem-
ple to talk about her experience;
I know her sister's bat mitzvah is
coming up so maybe I'll catch up
with her then."
Flying under
the "Jewish"
radar was
American breast-
stroke swimmer
Soni
Rebecca Soni,
25, who won gold
in the 200M race,
silver in the 100M and a team relay
gold. Ma'ariv, the Israeli paper,
has just interviewed Soni's Israeli
relatives. Her Jewish father is the
son of an Auschwitz survivor. Her
mother's background is unclear.
Military Might
Stars Earn Stripes is a reality/com-
petition series that premiered Aug.
13 on NBC (new episodes air 8 p.m.
Mondays). Eight celebs execute
complicated missions inspired by
real military exercises (like a heli-
copter drop into the water). Each
celeb is paired in a two-person
team with an elite military veteran
and competes to win money for a
military/veteran-related charity.
The show is co-hosted by Gen.
Wesley Clark, 67, the former
NATO commander, and Samantha
Harris, 38, the former co-host of
Dancing with the Stars. Harris,
who was a bat mitzvah, now has
two young daughters with her
husband, Michael Hess. Gen. Clark
is the son of a Jewish father and
a Methodist mother. His father
died when he was very young,
and, until he was a teen, he didn't
know his father was Jewish. Clark
then sought out his Jewish rela-
tives and remains close to some
of them.
