Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Join Forward Life editor Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt in Columbus, Ohio, as she explains how she balances journalism, family and the demands of being the wife of an Orthodox congregational rabbi.
Before working for the Forward, Chizhik-Goldschmidt was a New York-based reporter for Haaretz. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, and Salon, and she teaches journalism at Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Women.
On Sunday, January 13, Rabbi Avi Goldstein will be in discussion with Chizhik-Goldschmidt at “Let Me Hear Thy Voice: An Orthodox Female Journalist’s Story.”
The event will take place at 7 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Columbus. As part of the Women’s Torah Series, the discussion is free and open to the public.

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.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
