Reporters’ Roundtable: Michael Oren, Public Diplomat; Israel’s Poverty Epidemic
In this week’s Forward Reporters’ Roundtable, host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with staff writer Gal Beckerman about Israel’s U.S. Ambassador Michael Oren and about why, during his first 18 months in the position, he is perceived as falling short of the great expectations that followed his appointment. Then editor Jane Eisner discusses the first installment of a Forward series on poverty in Israel.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
