Universal Jewish Preschool
Why does Jewish preschool cost so much? In the new episode of The Jewish Channel series “The Salon,” panelist Jordana Horn of the parenting website Kveller argues that philanthropists should invest in Jewish preschool — “Birthright closer to birth” — and Rabbi Robyn Fryer Bodzin makes the case for paying early childhood teachers well.
The panelists also chat about the two different feminist strategies presented by Purim heroines Esther and Vashti.

The Salon is moderated by Jane Eisner, the Forward’s editor, and Rachel Sklar of Change the Ratio.
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
