ANOTHER NICE BOY
Grammy award-winning rapper Drake 
(born Aubrey Drake Graham) attended 
Jewish day school in his native Canada 
and recreated his bar mitzvah in a music 
video (with Lil Wayne). Last year, he 
opened a members-only club at the 
Air Canada Centre (home to the NBA
s 
Toronto Raptors and the NHL
s Toronto 
Maple Leafs)  and dedicated it to the 
memory of his grandparents, Reuben and 
Evelyn Sher. His bubbie, as he called her, 
was the first person to ever play catch 
with me, and my grandfather was the big-
gest sports fan in the world, Drake wrote 
on Instagram. I opened this club in the 
memory of both of you. The nice Jewish 
boy brings his Summer Sixteen Tour to 
the Palace of Auburn Hills Thursday, July 
28. $49.50-$149.50. Palacenet.com. *

the daughter of Holocaust survivors. 
Her father, Tom, is a Jew-by-choice 
who spoke to famous food chef Joan 
Nathan (a U-M grad) in 2010 about 
how he and his wife cook together on 
holidays: 
Since I am a convert,
 Tom 
said, 
each holiday brings back memo-
ries of when I was in my mid-20s and 
chose Judaism. They are definitely my 
holidays, too, and I look forward to the 
foods, the smells and the traditions. 
The Jewish palate is more eclectic 
than what I grew up with as a young 
Protestant boy in Queens. Jews have 
the whole world, from Middle Eastern 
to Asian foods.

Likewise, Bill Maher is doing special 
HBO coverage every night during the 
two conventions. Maher
s mother was 
Jewish and his father, Catholic. He was 
raised Catholic until he was about 12, 
when his father left the church. He is 
now famously atheist. 
Of course, many Jewish journalists 
working for ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN 
will get air time. Biggies include: Chuck 
Todd, 44, of NBC; Julianna Goldman, 
35, of CBS (she
s a Jewish day school 
and Jewish high-school grad); Nate 

Silver, 38, the master-pollster who 
also is a special ABC correspondent; 
and  over at CNN  Dana Bash, 
45; Jake Tapper, 47; Wolf Blitzer, 68; 
Gloria Borger, 63; and David Axelrod, 
61, a commentator who was President 
Obama
s 2008 and 2012 campaign 
manager. 

AT THE MOVIES
Opening July 22: Into the Forest is a 
pretty well-reviewed Dystopian thriller. 
Here
s the basic plot: In the not-too-
distant future, two young sisters (Ellen 
Page and Evan Rachel Wood, 28), who 
live in a remote ancient forest, struggle 
to survive in an isolated country house 
after a massive, continent-wide power 
outage. Discovering the world around 
them is on the brink of an apocalypse 
and informed only by rumor, the sisters 
fight intruders, disease, loneliness and 
starvation.
The newest entry in the Star Trek 
re-boot film series, Star Trek Beyond, is 
an emotion-laden event in that Anton 
Yelchin, who co-stars as Ensign Chekov, 
tragically died on June 19, age 27. *

Are you a carrier of the Tay-Sachs disease gene?

Tay-Sachs disease is a rare inherited disease of the central nervous system passed from parents 
to child.  Both parents must be carriers of a mutation in the HEXA gene to pass the disease
on to their children.  If you know that you are a carrier of this abnormal HEXA gene, we invite
you to participate in our research project.  

Your participation will contribute to the knowledge gained from this research project. Knowledge 
gained will be used to help others through the development of new and improved carrier
screening tests for people like you.

We are looking for 50 people known to carry the abnormal Tay-Sachs gene. We ask participants 
in the project to donate about 1 tablespoon of blood for test development.  Only a single visit
is required.
You qualify to volunteer if you are:






You will receive $100.00 compensation for your time for the study visit.
