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.

A message from our editor-in-chief Jodi Rudoren
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.
— Jodi Rudoren, Editor-in-Chief
