See ‘RBG’ The Movie – Plus Jane Eisner In Conversation With The Directors

On May 1, come to the Marlene Meyerson JCC in Manhattan to see “RBG” before it arrives in the theaters.

After the screening, Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner will interview the directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West. They will discuss the making of the film and how a Jewish lawyer ended up revolutionizing gender imbalance in America and becoming an internet icon in the process.

For Friends of the Forward there will be a pre-screening reception and a chance to meet some of the people behind the movie.

To find out how to become a friend of the Forward and get notices of events like these, email Robbie Caplan.

It’s our birthday and we’re still celebrating!

This week we celebrate 129 years of the Forward. We’re proud of our origins as a Yiddish print publication serving Jewish immigrants. And we’re just as proud of what we’ve become today: A trusted source of Jewish news and opinion, available digitally to anyone in the world without paywalls or subscriptions. 

We’ve helped five generations of American Jews make sense of the news and the world around them — and we aren’t slowing down any time soon.

As a nonprofit newsroom, reader donations make it possible for us to do this work. Support independent, agenda-free Jewish journalism and our board will match your gift in honor of our birthday! 

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
