Classy, gifted, intelligent — is there anything you can’t do?
People look up to you as a role model and you take that responsibility very seriously.
Education is of prime importance to you, as is leading a full intellectual life.
You are not the most outgoing person in a room and feel no need to be. You speak only when you have something to say.

We're building on 127 years of independent journalism to help you develop deeper connections to what it means to be Jewish today.
With so much at stake for the Jewish people right now — war, rising antisemitism, a high-stakes U.S. presidential election — American Jews depend on the Forward's perspective, integrity and courage.
