Hollywood marriages and relationships aren't famous for their stability. It may be more convenient for celebrities to get divorced because both people are usually financially well-off, which makes going it alone a lot easier. Actors and musicians also have busy schedules, which can stand in the way of regular date nights or binge-watching Netflix for a full weekend.
Dating a celebrity can be hard no matter what; and if one-half of the couple isn't famous, things can easily become even more problematic. Tensions can arise if one person isn't used to the spotlight, or if there is a major difference in lifestyles. But while marrying a famous person may be difficult, it's not impossible. Some Hollywood couples make their non-celebrity pairings work, like Hugh Jackman's marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness that has lasted for more than two decades. Jackman credits their strong marriage partly to the fact that they got together before he was famous. Director Ron Howard is still married to his high school sweetheart, and Matt Damon married a bartender he met early in his career. Meanwhile, Grammy-winner Adele makes it work with the CEO of a philanthropic organization.
Stacker combed through bio pages and news reports to see which famous people married non-celebrity counterparts. Some couples are just starting out, while others have been together for decades.

Matt Damon and Luciana (Barroso) Damon
Matt Damon and Lucy Barroso are possibly Hollywood's most well-known famous-not-famous couple. The two met in 2003, while Barroso was bartending and Damon was filming "Stuck on You." Damon says he saw his future wife from across the room and headed straight over for a conversation. Barroso, who tells the story a little differently, says "The Martian" actor was just trying to hide from fans. Even though he was becoming famous, that didn't stop her from putting him to work behind the bar.

Story name: Celebrities who married people who are not famous Canonical URL: https://stacker.com/celebrities/celebrities-who-married-people-who-are-not-famous Written by: Keri Wiginton Description: Stacker looks at celebrities who married people who are not famous. Celebrities who married people who are not famous Hollywood marriages and relationships aren't famous for their stability. It may be more convenient for celebrities to get divorced because both people are usually financially well-off, which makes going it alone a lot easier. Actors and musicians also have busy schedules, which can stand in the way of regular date nights or binge-watching Netflix for a full weekend. Dating a celebrity can be hard no matter what; and if one-half of the couple isn't famous, things can easily become even more problematic. Tensions can arise if one person isn't used to the spotlight, or if there is a major difference in lifestyles. But while marrying a famous person may be difficult, it's not impossible. Some Hollywood couples make their non-celebrity pairings work, like Hugh Jackman's marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness that has lasted for more than two decades. Jackman credits their strong marriage partly to the fact that they got together before he was famous. Director Ron Howard is still married to his high school sweetheart, and Matt Damon married a bartender he met early in his career. Meanwhile, Grammy-winner Adele makes it work with the CEO of a philanthropic organization. Stacker combed through bio pages and news reports to see which famous people married non-celebrity counterparts. Some couples are just starting out, while others have been together for decades. Click through to see which stars are married to people who aren't famous. ALSO: Moms of celebrities who are as famous as their kids Matt Damon and Luciana (Barroso) Damon Matt Damon and Lucy Barroso are possibly Hollywood's most well-known famous-not-famous couple. The two met in 2003, while Barroso was bartending and Damon was filming "Stuck on You." Damon says he saw his future wife from across the room and headed straight over for a conversation. Barroso, who tells the story a little differently, says "The Martian" actor was just trying to hide from fans. Even though he was becoming famous, that didn't stop her from putting him to work behind the bar. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tasha McCauley Joseph Gordon-Levitt is tight-lipped about his private life, declining to name his soon-to-be wife in 2013. The actor later married Tasha McCauley, co-founder and CEO of Fellow Robots and board director at GeoSim Systems, in 2014. They have two children. Adele and Simon Konecki It's not clear when Adele met her husband Simon Konecki, but the couple were spotted in 2012 vacationing in Florida. The singer kept her relationship with the charity CEO private for awhile, but Adele confirmed their marriage in 2017. The couple have a 5-year-old son named Angelo. Paul Rudd and Julie Yaeger Rudd Funnyman Paul Rudd married former publicist Julie Yaeger in 2003. The two met after Rudd—who had recently starred in "Clueless"—moved to New York, arriving at Yaeger's workplace in search of a publicist. Julie Yaeger Rudd sometimes works with her actor husband, although she takes on a behind-the-scenes role. She wrote the screenplay for "Fun Mom Dinner," which Rudd acted in and executive produced. Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth Actress Reese Witherspoon married Jim Toth, a talent agent, in 2011. The couple had their first child—Tennessee James Toth—in 2012. Toth works at Creative Artists Agency, where Witherspoon is a client, and the couple met through mutual friends at a party in Los Angeles. Witherspoon was previously married to fellow actor Ryan Phillippe, with whom she has two children. Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas Actor Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas, a yoga instructor, married in 2011 and have four children together. Hilaria says she didn't know anything about the "30 Rock" actor when they met. After learning Baldwin was pre-diabetic, his health-conscious wife helped the actor adopt a healthier diet to shed 30 pounds. Gal Gadot and Yaron Versano The "Wonder Woman" star is married to Yaron Versano, an Israeli real estate developer. The two married in 2008, two years after they met through mutual friends at a "very strange party in the Israeli desert." Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond Comedian Tina Fey and her composer husband, Jeff Richmond, have known each other since the '90s during Fey's improv days at Chicago's Second City. They also worked together while Fey was head writer and Richmond was musical director at "Saturday Night Live," and most recently collaborated on the musical adaptation of Fey's film "Mean Girls." The couple married in 2001, and have two daughters. Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer Comedian Amy Schumer married chef Chris Fischer in 2018 after planning the wedding in only a few days. The world learned about their relationship—and Schumer's pregnancy—mostly through Schumer's Instagram account. They are expecting their first child this year. While Fischer may not be as recognizable as his new bride, he is a James Beard Award-winning chef who wrote a successful cookbook: "The Beetlebung Farm Cookbook." George Clooney and Amal (Alamuddin) Clooney Actor George Clooney was one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors until he met Amal Alamuddin, an international human rights lawyer. The couple met through a mutual friend in 2013 at Clooney's home in Lake Como, and married a year later. The actor, who told David Letterman that his agent predicted the marriage, is now a father of twins. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Film and theater actor Hugh Jackman met his long-time love Deborra-Lee Furness in 1995 when they shared some scenes—and chemistry—on the film "Correlli." Despite marrying after knowing each other less than a year, their union has lasted for more than two decades. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren Actress and entrepreneur Jessica Alba married film producer Cash Warren in 2008. Alba says she felt an instant attraction when she met her future husband in 2004 on the set of "Fantastic Four." She was starring as Sue Storm, and Warren was working as a production assistant. The two—who share three children—continue to gush about each other on social media. Alba took to Instagram on Warren's 39th birthday to say she's "so proud to be (his) partner in life." Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway married Adam Shulman in 2012. The two met through mutual friends, and tied the knot in Big Sur, Calif. While Shulman isn't as famous as his wife, he works in entertainment as a producer and actor. He's also a jewelry designer. Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson is a little embarrassed to tell people where he met his husband, a lawyer and activist who worked with the American Foundation for Equal Rights. Ferguson often tells people they were introduced through mutual friends, but they really met at the gym. The two got married in 2013, and hope to have kids one day. Adam Sandler and Jackie (Titone) Sandler In 2003, comedian Adam Sandler married actress and model Jackie Titone, whom he met during the filming of "Big Daddy." The two also had mutual friends before they shared a film set. Elton John and David Furnish In 1993, Elton John met the love of his life at his own dinner party. John said he "was attracted to David immediately," and asked Furnish out for a private meal the following evening. The couple was one of the first to form a civil partnership in the United Kingdom, and married nine years later when same-sex marriage became legal in their country. Jon Stewart and Tracey (McShane) Stewart The former "Daily Show" host met Tracey McShane—a former veterinary technician-turned-author—shortly after "The Jon Stewart Show" was cancelled in 1995. The meeting almost didn't happen, but a friend convinced McShane to go on the blind date. Stewart later proposed to McShane through a New York Times crossword puzzle, and the couple married in 2000. Stephen Colbert and Evelyn McGee-Colbert Prompted by a question-and-answer session with fans, "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert shared the story of how he met his wife. Colbert was considering marrying another woman at the time, but knew it wasn't going to happen when he saw Evelyn McGee across the lobby at a musical in Charleston, S.C. Colbert said he immediately thought "Her. There's your wife, you're going to marry her." They met in 1990, and tied the knot three years later. Will Ferrell and Viveca Paulin Comedian Will Ferrell and Viveca Paulin met in acting class in 1995, and married five years later. Paulin—who has an art history degree—has played minor roles in films like "A Night at the Roxbury" and is actively involved in the Southern California arts community. She helped found the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Contemporary Friends. What does the "Anchorman" star love most about his wife? Her sense of humor. Meryl Streep and Don Gummer Meryl Streep is as close to Hollywood royalty as it gets. Streep has won three Academy Awards, and is the most nominated actress in history. Long before she became an acting legend, she married sculptor Don Gummer. Streep and Gummer wed in 1978 after only dating for six months. Zoe Saldana and Marco (Perego) Saldana The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star married Marco Perego, a former professional soccer player-turned-artist, in 2013. Perego bucked tradition and took Saldana's last name after the two got hitched. In 2017, they welcomed their third child together. Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied When she was cast in "Black Swan," actress Natalie Portman probably wasn't expecting to get both a husband and an Oscar from the film. Portman met her future husband Benjamin Millepied, a ballet dancer, when he was choreographing her Academy Award-winning role. They married in 2012, and have two children. Vince Vaughn and Kyla Weber In 2008, Vince Vaughn met Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber at the wedding of a mutual friend. The "Wedding Crasher" star told Ellen DeGeneres that he would have settled down much sooner, if he'd only met Weber earlier. Jack Black and Tanya Haden When they were in high school, Jack Black was too nervous to talk to his future wife, musician Tanya Haden, who Black says gives him "this great feeling of sharing experiences, of not feeling alone in the universe." He built up the courage 20 years later, and the two eloped in 2006. Jenna Fischer and Lee Kirk Jenna Fischer, best-known as Pam from "The Office," met her husband Lee Kirk on the set of "The Giant Mechanical Man." Kirk wrote and directed the film, which Fischer starred in and produced. Fischer and Kirk married in 2010, and have two children. Denzel Washington and Pauletta (Pearson) Washington In 1977, Denzel Washington met Pauletta Pearson while filing the television show "Wilma." They married six years later, and have been together for more than three decades. Washington credits their longevity to the fact that they were "good friends" before they tied the knot. Christian Bale and Sibi Blazic Academy Award-winning actor Christian Bale eloped with former model Sibi Blazic in 2000. Bale met his future wife when she was a personal assistant to his friend, Winona Ryder.

Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvonen The "Tonight Show" host met film producer Nancy Juvonen during filming for "Fever Pitch" in 2005.

Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney While some people like to avoid dating their coworkers, Kimmel and McNearney met on the job. The talk show host met his future wife when she was a writer's assistant at "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where she is now co-head writer. The two didn't start dating immediately—they were both in relationships when they met—but they married in 2013. They have two children together, including a son who was born with a congenital heart defect. Ron Howard and Cheryl Alley Ron Howard, the former child star and immensely successful director, married his high school sweetheart Cheryl Alley in 1975.

Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock first met at the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2006. The "American Idol" winner was set to perform with Rascal Flatts; Blackstock was the group's tour manager. They didn't start dating until six years later—after Blackstock got divorced and his father, Clarkson's manager, reintroduced the two. They got engaged less than a year later, and were married in in 2013 at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Vanessa Nadal The "Hamilton" creator knew his future wife, Vanessa Nadal, in high school—or rather, he knew of her. Miranda says that although the two went to the same school, he was too nervous to talk to her. Miranda later reached out to Nadal, a scientist with a law degree, on Facebook. They wed in 2010. Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery The "Grey's Anatomy" star has managed to keep her relationship with music producer Chris Ivery relatively private. The two met at a grocery store in Los Angeles in 2003, and began dating six months later. When they decided to get married a year into their relationship, they held a private ceremony—officiated by Mayor Michael Bloomberg—sans guests at New York City Hall. Patrick Dempsey and Jillian (Fink) Dempsey Ellen Pompeo's co-star Patrick Dempsey met his future wife while getting a haircut in Los Angeles in 1994. The couple married in 1999, but they've faced challenges. Jillian filed for divorce in 2015, but later rescinded the request. Wanda Sykes and Alex Niedbalski Actress and comedian Wanda Sykes married French native Alex Niedbalski on Oct. 25, 2008, shortly before Proposition 8—a measure that outlawed previously legal same-sex ceremonies in California—was overturned. Sykes doesn't talk publicly about her relationship, but she did tell Oprah about "an amazing moment" when she introduced Niedbalski as her "wife" to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Sykes and Niedbalski became the parents of twins a year later. Edward Norton and Shauna Robertson The "Fight Club" star dated film producer Shauna Robertson for six years before getting married. The two got engaged in 2011, and wed a year later. The couple doesn't share many details about their relationship or family, but they have two children. While Norton is famous for his acting roles, Robertson stays behind the scenes. Her producing resume includes Judd Apatow films like "The 40-Year-Old-Virgin," "Anchorman," and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Woody Harrelson and Laura Louie Woody Harrelson met his future wife in 1987 while filming "Cheers." They didn't appear on-screen together; Laura Louie was his assistant for a couple of years on the classic television series. In 2008, they tied the knot in a low-key ceremony at their home in Maui, Hawaii. According to Harrelson, the wedding only cost about $500. Together the couple has three kids. Josh Brolin and Kathryn Boyd Josh Brolin was married to fellow celebrity Diane Lane for nearly a decade, divorcing in 2013. Brolin married his former assistant, Kathryn Boyd, in 2016.

Boyd, a former model who, launched a line of premium denim—Midheaven Denim—specifically for women with long legs. Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett first met her husband, playwright Andrew Upton, on the set of a TV show in 1996. Blanchett says they didn't immediately hit it off, but they got engaged three weeks after their first kiss, and wed in 1997. Upton now playfully refers to himself as "the hand," since that is the only thing left of him in cropped photos with his wife on the red carpet. Michelle Williams and Phil Elverum Actress Michelle Williams was famously married to her "Brokeback Mountain" co-star, actor Heath Ledger, who died in 2008. A decade later, the actress quietly wed indie musician Phil Elverum. The indie rocker, who lost his first wife to pancreatic cancer, lived in a small town in the Pacific Northwest until he married Williams and moved to Brooklyn. Elverum isn't completely unknown, but his fame is nowhere near the height of his Oscar-nominated wife. Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley Margot Robbie didn't appear often with husband Tom Ackerley until a year after they got married, but they walked the red carpet together in 2017.

Bateman also credits Anka for helping him choose "career-making" acting roles. Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder Megastar Julia Roberts married cinematographer Danny Moder, with whom she has three children, in 2002.

The couple has openly talked about Miller's mother's battle with Alzheimer's, which they faced only a few months into their relationship, and have since raised money to support research and awareness for the condition.

The New Dior Phone Touch is the first smartphone from the French designer, coming out three years after Dior's first cellphone endeavor, and it does not disappoint.
"I wanted to be an architect" said Dior, and that is exactly what he did with this touch phone. The Dior phone is handmade in a French Workshop out of only 99 pieces. It is made with the finest luxury materials such as sapphire crystal, gold, steel, diamonds, and mother-of pearl. The Dior logo is etched into the sapphire crystal to give it a luminous effect.
This phone leaves nothing out. It is adorned in Sapphire crystal in Dior's signature colors-Glamorous Black, Dazzling Red, Pure White, and Shanghai Blue. Also, Dior's signature oval logo becomes animated each time a number is dialed. Even the Dior phone's apps are glamorized. Each app has a thin white line surrounding it in order to have it look like the street nameplates in Paris. Apps such as the camera, video, gallery, and animations have icons that immortalize moments in Monsieur Dior's life. This is not only a phone but a true work of art.
Every little detail on the Dior phone symbolizes something. Every ringtone and touch tone has been created by an audio designer exclusively for this phone. The phone is the perfect size for a woman's hand. It comes with GPS, google maps, real time, Facebook, Twitter, an MP3 player, and a Video Recorder. It is both fashionable and useful.

For the first time ever, H&M, a Swedish retail company known for its inexpensive and fashion forward clothing will be available exclusively online through Elle.com starting today.
Fashionistas on a budget will be able to order H&M products online for a limited time by going onto Elle.com/hm. In early January 2012, H&M will launch a full e-commerce site in the U.S. for Internet shoppers.
The H&M site coming in January will also include an exclusive plus-sized collection.
Whether or not shoppers will use the online H&M store is up for discussion. In a recent article Dhani Mau of Elle.com addressed the fact that though H&M is known for its inexpensive accessibility an online site may not be as popular.
"H&M's sizing and quality are both often frustratingly inconsistent, which makes ordering online risky," Dhani Mau wrote in the article.
Also, ordering online will add to the cost of this inexpensive brand with the factors of shipping and handling fees taken into account. With H&M stores in most major cities in the US, shoppers already have easy access to its clothing and accessories.
In recent years, H&M has been quickly gaining momentum in the fashion industry. In 2009 and 2010, the branding consultancy Interbrand ranked the company as the twenty-first most-valuable global brand.
H&M is also planning to open around 250 new stores in U.S. this year. With online and in-store shopping, H&M is forecasted to have a successful future.
Coco Chanel: intelligence operative and couture fashion designer?
What would you think if you were told the creator of "the Little Black Dress" led a double life? Is it possible for a brilliant designer to be involved in war crimes? This new books goes beyond the rumors and prevents evidence that the beloved fashion icon was also a Nazi spy.
"Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War," by Hal Vaughan reveals evidence of how and why Chanel was enlisted in a number of spy missions. The book tells the full story of the mystery years during Chanel's life from 1841 to 1954. Her affair with Baron Hans Gunther von Dincklage is detailed, suggesting that von Dincklage was a "Nazi master spy." The book ends explaining Chanel's flee to Switzerland in alleged exile for nine years, with her return to Paris and rebuilding the iconic brand, which is now the House of Chanel.
"Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel's Secret War" is on shelves August 16.
The Autumn/Winter 2011 Armani Privé collection, unveiled at Paris Haute Couture, makes a statement in both the fashion and philanthropic worlds. Giorgio Armani paid tribute to the recent events that devastated Japan while experimenting with classic elements of Japanese style.
Last season the collection was all about metallics, the tailored trouser and floor-length silhouettes. The latest Armani Privé builds on these features but uses lighter touches in both color and texture. Soft, painted silk in shades of cherry blossom pink replace the dark, two-tone sequins and metals.
Although the line is still infused with classic Armani black, it is accented with pastel patterns reflecting Japanese art and the country's signature red and white. Other features of the collection include kimono-tailored jackets, a slim waistline accentuated by obi belts, pleats and Phillip Treacy headpieces built from origami and flowers which allude to the beauty of traditional geishas.
The collection, Hommage au Japon, is what the designer called a "creative gesture" to further support his label's recent and ongoing contributions to a UNESCO scholarship, supporting a three-year program for child victims of the catastrophic events that shook the country last March.
Armani, who said he was "profoundly moved by the tragic events," has made a beautiful and inspirational impact; since the show more and more designers and celebrities from Sandra Bullock to Lady Gaga have stepped out to show their support for the cause.
Both the collection and the atmosphere of the show itself carried the themes of structure, minimalism and elegance, making Armani and traditional Japanese fashion a perfect match.
The lovely Emma Stone and Olivia Wilde will soon be gracing ads, magazines, billboards, and commercials all over the world with their gorgeous faces and fresh personalities. And, if I am allowed to be frank, I don't think anyone will complain.
These two beauties have been chosen by the American cosmetics line Revlon to be their global beauty ambassadors. They will also be appearing in the up and coming Revlon campaign which will begin running in early 2012. The duo's first campaign is said to be for a new nail enamel line and color cosmetics line.
"I have been familiar with Revlon for as long as I can remember," said Stone in a statement. "I vividly recall my mom wearing Revlon makeup and I remember getting to the age when I was finally able to wear Revlon myself."
For Wilde, she's excited to be part of doing some good for women. Not only will the two flaunt their beauty, but they will also participate in Revlon's fundraising efforts that gear towards helping women's health issues.
"I have always admired Revlon and their commitment to giving women the confidence and tools they need to feel beautiful, both inside and out," said Wilde. "Creatively, Revlon has never been afraid to push the envelope, which is important to me. I also love that they use their tremendous recognizability around the world to do good as one of the industry's biggest champions of women's health. It's exciting to join a company with a big heart and big ideas!"
Stone and Wilde could not be the more perfect pick for Revlon. I am patiently awaiting this new campaign as it will definitely be something to admire.

Israel to create Western Wall area for men and women to pray together
The move this marks an unprecedented move by the Israeli government to officially recognize the rights of Conservative, Reform and other Jewish denominations to hold organized prayer at the site.
By Ruth EglashThe Washington Post

JERUSALEM—Israel on Sunday approved a plan that would dramatically change the layout of Jerusalem's Western Wall plaza, one of the holiest sites in Judaism, creating a space for egalitarian prayer and mixed-gender ceremonies for non-Orthodox Jews.
The new area, which will enable men and women to pray side by side, is to be adjacent to the existing plaza run by ultra-Orthodox rabbis. That area is split into prayer sections for men and women, although women are not allowed to read aloud from the Torah, wear prayer shawls or sing there.
Along with creating a change to the delicate status quo, this marks an unprecedented move by the Israeli government to officially recognize the rights of Conservative, Reform and other Jewish denominations to hold organized prayer at the site.
Jewish groups in Israel and the United States hailed the decision as a historic step toward religious pluralism in Israel. American Jewish organizations, many of which feel that their religiosity is sidelined in Israel, have been integral in pushing the plan forward and assuring it remains on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's agenda.
"The Jewish state has always held a promise that it is for all Jewish people, and the Wall is such an amazingly spiritual and inspirational place," said Jerry Silverman, president of the Jewish Federations of North America, an organization representing hundreds of Jewish groups.
"Now, to have a space that will recognize the way the majority of Jews practice their religion—at least Jews from the United States—is a monumental step forward," he said.
After long-running negotiations with several Jewish groups, the plan was drafted by former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky, head of the Jewish Agency for Israel, and outgoing Cabinet Secretary Avichai Mandelblit. The evolving plan has gone through numerous incarnations and faced high hurdles.
The ultra-orthodox rabbinate, which enjoys a monopoly on religious Jewish life in Israel from births and marriages to places of worship, was unwilling to allow any changes at the site. Archeologists expressed dismay that more development at the Western Wall could destroy precious artifacts and change a visitor's view into the past.
The area around the ancient wall, part of the first and second Jewish temples, is also a sensitive spot for Muslims, who consider the adjacent al-Aqsa mosque compound the third-holiest site in Islam. Administered by the Islamic Waqf trust, it is overseen by Jordan and has been a flash point of violence in recent months.
Netanyahu, who brought up the proposal for a vote during the weekly cabinet meeting, commended the plan, saying that the area was a "place that is supposed to unite the Jewish people."
"While I know that this is a delicate issue, I think that this is a fair and creative solution," Netanyahu said.
But five ultra-Orthodox members of Netanyahu's cabinet, including Religious Affairs Minister David Azoulay, did not vote for the plan. They also did not fight it or threaten to bring down the government.
"I am gratified that the cabinet voted this plan into existence," said Rabbi Julie Schonfeld, head of the Rabbinical Assembly, an international association of Conservative rabbis. "At the same time, there are opponents to this plan and to religious pluralism within the government, and we have to continue working to make sure this plaza is built."
Anat Hoffman, director of Women of the Wall—a feminist group that has been pushing for a solution to allow egalitarian prayer at the Western Wall—said government approval of the plan was a "wonderful gesture."
"We will offer an option to all Israelis and Jews from around the world to express their Judaism," she said.
"We had a vision 27 years ago that the holiest site of Jewish people needed to be run different, and today the government has taken a step toward it," Hoffman said. "Of course, there are still a thousand hurdles and many ways for this to be sabotaged, but we will not stop moving until the new plaza is ready and fit for us."
Shmuel Rabinowitz, rabbi of the Western Wall and Holy Sites, said that he received the decision regarding the new prayer arrangements "with a heavy heart and a sigh of relief."
"Ever since the fringe and vociferous group of Women of the Wall started its mass-media activity, the Western Wall went from being a unifying site to one of incessant quarrels," he said. Using a Hebrew phrase referring to the defamation of God's name, he added, "The chilul hashem that this group and its supporters have caused is terrible, and it will take years to repair it."

Born to race cars, Speed Racer is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized - the legendary Rex Racer, whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner but uncovers a terrible secret - some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie, Speed teams with his one-time rival - the mysterious Racer X - to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.


– Says Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group. Wise words, wouldn't you say?
This principle – taking care of your people – is at the heart of creating a great place to work, where people are appreciated, engaged, productive and thriving. Where they actually want to work. That's why we're seeing leading employers worldwide increasingly investing in their workforce's wellbeing.
Why does this matter? Because over 70% of employees in the US are disengaged, according to Gallup Research, costing businesses billions in lost productivity annually. Globally, those numbers climb even higher. That may seem a bit doom and gloom, but it's actually not, which is exactly why it's such an exciting time for the employee engagement and wellbeing industry.
Gone are the days when companies viewed employee engagement and wellbeing programs as 'nice to do,' yielding 'soft' benefits. Companies with high engagement scores perform better than their counterparts in key operational areas like productivity, absenteeism, turnover, safety and quality incidents, shrinkage, customer metrics, and profitability.
CEOs care about and are measured against these numbers, so it's no wonder they're launching initiatives aimed to boost employee engagement. In fact, "increasing employee engagement" is the number one strategic priority for CEOs. But there's room for improvement in how companies go about it.
Research on employee engagement and productivity continues to show the basic health of employees indicates how engaged they'll be on the job. Yet today, taking care of ourselves isn't always top priority.
Think about it: when asked to do more with less, be accessible 24/7, and respond to emails the moment they hit our inboxes, we sacrifice our personal priorities to do so. We'll put healthy habits – exercising, eating healthily, getting enough sleep – on the back burner because we're squeezed for time, overwhelmed, and stressed out. The result? Disconnected workforces that feel unappreciated, and can't engage in the first place.
To drive engagement, we've got to put employees in the driver's seats of their own lives. Progressive employers know this. And it's moving to see them take an innovative, holistic view of their workforce, ditching 'check-the-box' programs, and realising that taking care of employees goes beyond saving on healthcare costs.
Healthy, engaged employees are your top competitive advantage. No matter how good your business model is or products are, you still need a stellar team to design, build, improve, sell and service them.
How? By supporting your people across all aspects of life to help them be their best selves. Once employees feel great and have the support they need, they're better able to engage, be more productive, and thrive – on and off the job. By taking care of your people, companies create a workforce with the physical energy, mental focus, and emotional drive necessary to power their businesses and impact those critical metrics.
