Reporters’ Roundtable: Interfaith Edition
A new study on intermarriage that upends long-held notions about how to engage the children of intermarried couples is the subject of this week’s Reporters’ Roundtable. Reporter Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with staff writer Gal Beckerman and senior columnist J.J. Goldberg about the tenor of the current conversation on intermarriage, in comparison to that of years and decades past, and the panel discusses how Jewish movements are dealing with issues of rabbinic ordination, marriage and burial of those in interfaith relationships.

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.
