The Forward This Week
In this week’s podcast, Forward editor Jane Eisner has a roundup of the stories in the March 3 issue of the Forward; Allison Gaudet Yarrow interviews Justin Taylor, author of the new story collection “Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever,” about secular Jewishness in the American South, and the American Jewish World Service’s Ruth Messinger offers her take on the devastation in Haiti — and what her organization is doing to help.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and the protests on college campuses.
Readers like you make it all possible. Support our work by becoming a Forward Member and connect with our journalism and your community.
