Z3, located this year at the Stephen Wise Temple, aims to promote Zionism and discuss its changing landscape, as well as the relationship with Diaspora Jews and Israelis. Jodi will moderate a panel called “The Power Dynamic: Influence and Vulnerability,” which will delve into what it means to be a Jew in American versus a Jew in Israel. Batya will participate in a panel called “Global Anti-Semitism: Meaningful and transformative responses,” which will tackle the rise to anti-Semitism on the right and left.

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.
