“The election of Donald Trump exaggerated every fault line in American society — and in Jewish life,” she said. “Jews can no longer think of themselves as a safe, secure model minority. But this is also a moment alive with opportunity, a chance to make bold new choices.
If you’re able to attend, please RSVP to Roberta Caplan for further details on the festivities: call (212) 453-9446 or email [email protected].
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
