Dennis Ross Rejoins Think Tank
Dennis Ross, the former top Obama administration Middle East strategist, is rejoining the Jewish People Policy Institute as its co-chairman.
Ross, who left the White House last month, will serve as co-chairman of the board of directors and professional guiding council of the organization with Stuart Eizenstat, who had replaced Ross as chairman when he stepped down from the position to join the Obama administration.
Ross rejoined the Washington Institute for Near East Policy after his departure from the White House. He is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Tuesday to speak at a closed JPPI event on the topic of expected regional developments in 2012.
The Jewish People Policy Institute is a professional and independent think tank.
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.
