(JTA) \u2014 It\u2019s not just the High Holidays, the time of year when Jews reflect on their past year and atone for their sins. For the third time now, it\u2019s also time to appreciate the Jewish moments that helped define the year in pop culture \u2014 in the form of The Almas.<\/p>\n

This year, multiple winners filmed short acceptance speeches \u2014 most in humorous fashion.<\/p>\n

Hannah Einbinder, whom Alma named Breakout TV Actress for her star turn in HBO\u2019s comedy \u201cHacks\u201d (and also happens to be a big Alma fan), posted hers after a falafel run.<\/p>\n

Musician Sasha Spielberg, Alma\u2019s Breakout Jewish Artist (and daughter of Steven), was taken by surprise by the honor.<\/p>\n

And English heartthrob Ben Barnes, a star of the Netflix fantasy series \u201cShadow and Bone\u201d and winner of Alma\u2019s Breakout TV Actor award, shared a message from Toronto, where he\u2019s filming a new project.<\/p>\n
