Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Hanna Rosin, a writer for the Atlantic and Double X — the Slate Group’s new online magazine for women — will be answering readers’ questions as the Forward’s next guest Bintel Brief advice columnist. Rosin was nominated this year for a National Magazine Award for her Atlantic piece on transgendered children. She is the author of “God’s Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2007). The Israeli-born, Queens-reared Rosin lives in Washington, D.C. with her husband, Slate editor David Plotz, and their three children.
The first installment of the Bintel Brief featuring Rosin will be posted at www.forward.com on Monday, May 18. If you have a question for the Bintel Brief, e-mail [email protected]. Questions selected for publication are printed anonymously.
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.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
