Visit the Lower East Side With The Forward

On June 10, the Newsroom Society will go on a walking tour of the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Conducted by the president of the Forward, Sam Norich, the tour will hit the highlights of this historical neighborhood with so much resonance for the Jewish American community and for the Forward in particular.
We will visit the Forward building and other edifices that have survived into the 21st century, as well as visiting sites that have succumbed to progress only to be brought to life by Norich’s vivid descriptions.

The Forward is free to read but not free to produce
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
