Staffers Departing from NJDC
Two staffers had their last day today at the National Jewish Democratic Council today: Deputy Executive Director David Goldenberg is returning to his old boss, Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida to serve as chief of staff; political director Jeff Hauser has not announced a new position.
Steve Rabin will be assuming the role of deputy executive director beginning next week.
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.
