In this divisive time, how can we maintain civil dialogue, even with those with whose views we completely disagree?
Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner seeks to find the answer. On October 18, she’ll host a discussion titled, “How Liberals and Conservatives Can Find a Common Language,” alongside Bret Stephens, New York Times columnist and senior contributor for NBC, and Peter Beinart, contributing editor at the Forward and The Atlantic.

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.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
