NYC’s historic 2021 election is fast approaching. With the introduction of ranked choice voting, nearly every city office in play, and hundreds of candidates on the ballot, the June primary has the potential to profoundly transform our city government. This discussion will be led by Jodi Rudoren, editor-in-chief of the Forward, and Ruth Messinger, JCC Social Justice Activist in Residence, as they look at the upcoming city elections in this unique year.
This conversation is part of Tikkun Leil Shavuot, the Marlene Myerson JCC Manhattan’s all-night Shavuot celebration.

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.
