Yid Vid: Israeli TV Makes Intermarriage Seem Funny, Grave
This is a great report from Israel’s Channel 10 on intermarriage in America. The report offers an incisive outsider’s perspective on this sensitive issue that manages to be simultaneously funny and serious and offers a thoroughly human look at an American Jewish dilemma without proffering easy answers.
It was posted on YouTube late last year. The comments on the video’s YouTube page are interesting.

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
- Alyssa Katz, Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
