In this week’s Forward Reporters’ Roundtable, Andrew Tobin, a Forward intern, joins host Josh Nathan-Kazis to discuss what’s behind the recent arson attack in the Hasidic community of New Square, N.Y. Josh also speaks with Joseph Dana, a Tel Aviv- and Ramallah-based journalist, about changing perceptions about the permanence of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

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
