Join the Museum at Eldridge Street on February 20 at 11:00am for a special family program where they’ll take a look at selections from the exhibition Pressed: Images from the Jewish Daily Forward. Children will get the chance to examine photographic prints and historic pages from the Forward newspaper and make their own works of art exploring storytelling through images.
“Pressed: Images from the Jewish Daily Forward” is a collaboration with Eldridge Street and the Bowne Print Shop at the Seaport Museum. “Pressed” features a selection of metal plates used to print images in the newspaper back in the day, along with actual prints made from the historic plates using traditional equipment.

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.
