Roseanne’s Reflections

Roseanne cares about being Jewish. There’s no doubt about that. On her blog the comic legend reflects frequently on Judaism, Jewish identity and Israel. Sometimes the posts are short. Sometimes they’re long. Consistently they’re more than a little bit wacky.

Here’s two of her latest posts, in full:

MY AUNT SAID “WINEGAR” FIXES EVERYTHING…

Nice! Also, Roseanne will be a “special guest” at a comedy fundraiser for Israel’s Arava Institute for Environmental Studies headlined by fellow comedian Sarah Silverman.

Here is why I'm matching up to $36,000 in gifts to the Forward:

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.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
