Shmoozer To Head JTA

The Shmooze wishes to congratulate Ami Eden on his appointment as editor in chief of the Jewish news service JTA. Eden was named to the position on May 14, effective immediately, and will oversee all news coverage and editorial content for JTA. A former executive editor of the Forward (and the inventor of The Shmooze), Eden left the Forward a year ago to become JTA’s managing editor. The Shmooze thinks of Eden as a proud father thinks of his son. Except vice versa.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
