Moshe Ya’alon, left, the former chief of staff of the Israeli military, will be the keynote speaker at an August 15 memorial ceremony for the revisionist Zionist leader Vladimir “Ze’ev” Jabotinsky, who championed the creation of a Jewish state in what are now Israel, the West Bank and Jordan. Introductory remarks will be delivered by Seth Lipsky, right, the publisher of the New York Sun and the founding editor of the English edition of the Forward. The Shmooze has been unable to confirm whether former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer plans to participate.

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.
