January 21: Manhattan: View The Forward Archives
Join us at a special open house at the Museum at Eldridge Street for a chance to view its latest exhibition “Pressed: Images from the Jewish Daily Forward.”
On January 21 from 6 to 8 p.m., discover the treasured metal plates used to print images in the newspaper back in the day, along with actual prints made from the plates using traditional equipment. Forward archivist Chana Pollack, who was instrumental in the creation of “Pressed,” will give a short talk about her work preserving and unfolding The Forward’s history.
Come for a drink and stay for the fascinating history!

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
