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

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
