Quantum Coincidence? Einstein Born on Pi Day
Some very clever people decided that today, March 14 (or 3.14), should be officially known to all as Pi Day, a celebration of that fascinating and maddening number that seemingly continues on randomly without end. Today is also the birthday of Albert Einstein, who was born in 1879. Random coincidence — or not?

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.
