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.”
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.
