Reporters’ Roundtable: NIF’s New Rules; Meir Kahane’s Reign
In this week’s Forward Reporters’ Roundtable, host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with Washington correspondent Nathan Guttman about the New Israel Fund’s new guidelines that restrict funding to organizations that accept Israel as a Jewish homeland. Then, staff writer Gal Beckerman discusses his new book, “When They Come for Us, We’ll Be Gone: The Epic Struggle to Save Soviet Jewry” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) — specifically about this excerpt, dealing with Meir Kahane’s tumultuous reign over the Soviet Jewry movement.

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.
