Video: Forward 50 Panel
Each year, the Forward 50 honors the men and women who are most instrumental in shaping the American Jewish story. Forward editor Jane Eisner recently led a panel discussion at the Sixth and I Historic Synagogue in Washington D.C. with activist and president of the American Jewish World Service Ruth Messinger, The Weekly Standard’s editor Bill Kristol and Orthodox boxing champion Dmitry Salita.
"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.
