“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].
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
