— Sarah Bard, the Jewish outreach director for the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, is moving to Israel.
Bard, 36, was scheduled to move by next week, she told JTA last month. Her aliyah, to be with her Israeli fiancé, had been planned before the presidential election campaign.
She reportedly does not have a job waiting for her in Israel.
She visited Israel in May to participate in a Clinton fundraiser in Tel Aviv.
Bard also worked on Clinton’s 2008 Democratic primary campaign, losing to Barack Obama. Bard then worked on Obama’s presidential campaign.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
