Gottesman Wins NEA Fellowship
Beyle Schaechter Gottesman, a Yiddish singer, songwriter and poet, received a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. This is the first time that a Yiddish writer or singer has received this honor. The fellowship includes an award of $20,000, a ceremony on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and a performance.
I’m personally matching all gifts to the Forward, up to $36,000. Can I match your gift now?
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
