Heeb Hundred and Forward 50 Agree — But Only Once
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.
Why I became the Forward’s 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.
