No matter who wins this historic election, the new administration will face huge challenges. Can the country be unified or does more division or even chaos lie ahead? What do the election results portend for U.S. Middle East policy, the U.S.-Israel-Palestine relationship and the Israel-Diaspora relationship?
Featuring Jodi Rudoren, Editor-in-chief of the Forward with guest host Rabbi Steven Garten, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Israel Ottawa, where he served for 19 years as Senior Rabbi.

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.
