In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis talks with Forward staff writer Paul Berger and opinion editor Gal Beckerman about new revelations concerning Alan Gross, a Jewish American aid worker who is serving a 15-year prison sentence in Cuba. Then, Forward fellow Naomi Zeveloff stops by to discuss an about-face for the hawkish Israel advocacy group, The David Project. Finally, Renee Ghert-Zand calls in to discuss why the Dutchess of Cambridge is wearing a Hasidic boy’s coat.

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
