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.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
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 polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
