Heeb Hundred and Forward 50 Agree — But Only Once

By Daniel Treiman November 20, 2008

The Forward 50 and the Heeb Hundred don’t tend to have too much overlap. This year, however, our circles intersect, though only in the person of FailedMessiah blogger Shmarya Rosenberg.

But don’t take this narrow intersection as evidence that our 110-year-old newspaper is somehow behind those Heeb hipsters on the coolness curve; we were way, way ahead of them on the Jewish rosaries beat.

Yeah, we’re hip to that jive.

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.
