Still reveling in his team’s win against the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen tweeted a clip Wednesday of him celebrating a play, captioned “Shabbat Shalom.”
Just a little early, Josh!

Let’s chalk it up to excitement. The game ended in a win, but Arizona Sports had a mixed report on Rosen’s performance.
The Jewish athlete was strong in the first half, according to Arizona Sports, proving to be a “critical piece in keeping drives alive for the Cardinals.” The second half was another story: “The rookie and much of the offense were non-existent,” it reported.
Ultimately, the Cardinals were victorious 28-18. Mazel tov!

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.
