Poetry
Goral
bound
for altar
or cliff
I’m at the mercy
of You
and Your lots
Kapparos
after swinging
the briefly orbiting object
stops to be
eaten or spent
realize that things don’t always revolve
around you
and resolve the universes
between you
and Him

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
