Reporters’ Roundtable: The Loyalty Oath
Israel’s decision to change its oath of allegiance, and thus require all new citizens — regardless of religion — to pledge their loyalty to “a Jewish and democratic state,” is the subject of the latest Forward Reporters’ Roundtable.

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
