A Salve for Anglo-Jewish Angst
In between playing the dreidel spin-off “I Didn’t Know They Were Jewish” and pondering the Yiddish word for condom, The Guardian’s podcast on all things Jewish humor checks in with Forward editor Jane Eisner. In this Hanukkah-themed episode, host Jason Solomons worries aloud about the appearance of a new Jewish “cabal” surfacing in Washington — and looks to Jane to soothe his “Anglo-Jewish angst.”
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
