Yid Vid: She’s Got a Crush on Ann Coulter
Leah Kauffman, the singer-songwriter behind the “Obama Girl” video,
has a new crush: Ann Coulter. Two differences between her “Obama Girl” video and her latest work: This time around, rather than using a lip-syncing model, Kaufman’s in front of the camera and she’s clearly only tongue-in-cheek in her affection for Coulter (a la Andy Samberg’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad love song).
Actually, the video is pretty biting. Kauffman did her people proud. (The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has a [nice interview][3].)

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
- Alyssa Katz, 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.
