Debating Best Jewish Sandwiches
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis talks with Forward staff writer Paul Berger about the new tactics being used by Judy Gross to free her husband, Alan, who is being held in a Cuban prison. Then, food editor Devra Ferst drops by to talk about the latest food section and where you can find some of the best Jewish sandwiches. Finally, staff writer Ezra Glinter gives us an inside look at the eastern European liqueur that is reviled by most and beloved by a few — Slivovitz.
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.
