Every day this week we’ll be highlighting classic and cutting-edge Jewish comedy, from the best Jewish comedians in the Trump era to the best jokes told by non-Jews about Jews. L’chaim!

Jews have embraced the phenomena of internet memes — a sort of homemade pairing of popular images and words that have a joking and often biting connotation — resulting in a massive and constantly growing crop of bizarre, titillating, and comic Jewish content. Whether you’re already a proud member of several Jewish meme groups, or you don’t know your mincha from your ma’ariv, there’s something for everyone.

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.
