The Forward Roundtable
Forward reporter Josh Nathan-Kazis sits down with colleagues Gal Beckerman, a staff writer, and Larry Cohler-Esses, the news editor, to discuss President Obama’s push for new U.N. sanctions against Iran. They weigh in on which trade-offs will be necessary to get Russia and China to support the sanctions, the coded language that Jewish leaders use when discussing how to curtail Iran’s nuclear ambitions and to what extent the Iran issue and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process are linked.

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.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
