Specter Shmoozes in NYC Tomorrow
Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania will be hosted at a breakfast tomorrow by pro-Israel powerhouse NORPAC.
The event is early – 7:30 a.m. at the Regency Hotel – but well worth it:
It’s a good change to suss out how pro-Israel politicos are feeling about their respective candidates of choice – Norpac co-chair Dr. Ben Chouake, for example, is on McCain’s finance committee.
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.
