Chasidic-owned B&H Photo is known for high quality camera equipment and a website that shuts down in observance of the Jewish Sabbath (much to the chagrin of the unobservant shutterbugs among us). But social media expertise? It seems not so much.

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.
