Getting Around

By Gabriel Sanders March 5, 2008

Not only does work done by our latest hire, editorial assistant Marissa Brostoff, now regularly grace the pages of the Forward, but it can be found as today’s lead offering on Nextbook.org

In her piece, Brostoff chats with Peter Zheutlin, author of the newly-released “Around the World on Two Wheels.” The book tells the story of Zheutlin’s great aunt, Annie Kopchovsky, who, under the nom de velo Annie Londonderry, captivated the world with her tales of cycling its circumference.

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.
