Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Please join essayist and opinion editor of the Forward Batya Ungar-Sargon for an open conversation about the implications of last week’s tragic attack in Pittsburgh and what it means for the American Jewish Community.
Her most recent pieces include, “What the Pittsburgh Massacre Taught Me about Jews in the age of Trump” and “Donald Trump, Meet America’s Jews. They Are Protesting Your Hate”
The discussion — “What the Pittsburgh massacre teaches us about the place of the Jewish community in 2018 America” — is part of the Richard and Lee Laster Annual Lecture Series so join us for breakfast and conversation at Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester, Sunday, November 4, from 9:15-10:30.

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.
