Jews and Sex Trafficking; Orthodox E-Rate Windfall; Six Word Memoirs
In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward editor Jane Eisner to discuss the modern and historical Jewish communal response to sex trafficking. Then, Josh talks with news editor Larry Cohler-Esses about why Lakewood, New Jersey is raking in federal funds for internet connectivity in schools. Finally, deputy culture editor Naomi Zeveloff stops by to discuss the Forward’s six-word memoir project devoted to Jewish moms.
The Forward is partnering with Larry Smith, editor of SMITH Magazine, home of the Six-Word Memoir®, to celebrate Mother’s Day.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
