File this under today’s possibly most bizarre news. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reported that 24-year-old Mesha Collins broke into Drake’s house on Monday — but all she wanted to do was to raid his fridge.
Police found Collins in a locked room alongside a collection of water bottles and soda cans. There was no evidence that she stole anything besides the beverages, nor did she cause any damage to the house. She was arrested, with a bail set for $100,000. The crime was “entering a residence with intent to steal the victim’s personal property.”

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.
