‘Kangaroo Congressional Hearing’
That’s the title of M.J. Rosenberg’s dispatch on the meeting Wednesday of the House’s Middle East subcommittee, which dealt with the Israeli-Paesltinian conflict and featured a great deal of criticism of the recent Hamas-Fatah unity government deal. We have a story about the hearing that should be up soon. For now, read Rosenberg’s critique.
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.
