Celebrate Hanukkah with The Forward at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan. On December 23 at 5 p.m., Yiddish Forward editor Rukhl Schaechter and JCC volunteer Susan Levin will light candles and help lead Yiddish Chanukah songs, followed by “pontshkes” (Yiddish for doughnuts) and other treats. Songsheets will be provided for the audience.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
