Anti-Semitic Vandals Strike in Los Angeles
Swastikas were drawn on cars, mailboxes and homes in a heavily Jewish Los Angeles neighborhood.
The swastikas reportedly were drawn on at least three homes early Wednesday morning in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Sherman Oaks.
All of the victims of the vandalism are Jewish, according to NBC in Los Angeles. One of the victims is the daughter of survivors of Auschwitz.
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.
