Here are some high-energy, easy-to-eat-en-route, sustaining snacks to make and share along the march route. So fill a thermos with hot soup, a baggie with spiced nuts or good granola, or a small sac of cookies packed with nutritious, delicious ingredients.
For a more substantial meal to eat with one hand while holding a sign in the other, there are cheese-filled bourekas and feta-and-spinach arayas.
And please don’t forget to drink plenty of water.

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.
