WATCH: Schmear Lunacy!
Watch and learn, people. Watch and learn.
You know, I just wasn’t getting enough calories and fat from the regular slick of cream cheese I usually spread on my bagel. The right way, it turns out, ups the ante considerably — and involves power tools.

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.
