It’s Official: I’m Not Hip

By Daniel Treiman September 21, 2007

Leave it to Heeb magazine to make me feel inadequate. I live in Brooklyn. I have black-frame glasses. I even was at last year’s Sonic Youth/Yeah Yeah Yeahs concert in McCarren Pool. And yet, for all this, I’ve heard of only a paltry 10 of the people featured in this year’s Heeb 100. Thanks a lot, Heeb.

A message from our CEO & publisher 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.
