Record-Breaking Sing-Along
An effort is under way to organize the world’s largest sing-along. The tune? Israel’s national anthem. Galia Albin, an Israeli businesswoman, is calling on people around the world to belt out “Hatikva” on May 7 — Israel’s 60th birthday — and break the Guinness World Record for the most people singing an anthem simultaneously. The event will commence at 10:50 p.m. Israel time. For more information, go to www.livehatikva.org.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
