Race Issues in Maryland?
The Hill has this story today: “Race issues dog Cardin and Mfume in Senate primary. Perhaps I was up too late last night, but I’ve scanned the story a few times, and can’t figure out what the race “issues” are in Maryland – except that blacks will vote for Mfume and whites will vote for Cardin.
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.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
