In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis talks with Forward artist in residence Eli Valley about his newest comic in which a sea monster visits the AIPAC conference. Then, staff writer Paul Berger talks about the ongoing saga of Alan Gross, a Jewish American aid worker who is serving a 15-year prison sentence in Cuba. Then, staff writer Ezra Glinter stops by to discuss our picks for the top Jewish Oscar winners of all-time.
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
