Reporters’ Roundtable: Rick Sanchez’s Fall; Brooklyn Cuisine
In this week’s Forward Reporters’ Roundtable, host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with staff writer Gal Beckerman about Rick Sanchez’s recent firing — and about other prominent journalists who have lost their jobs after making comments perceived as hostile toward Jews. Then editorial assistant Devra Ferst joins the conversation to discuss accompanying famed food writer Joan Nathan on a culinary tour of Brooklyn. Devra edits The Jew And the Carrot, a food blog that is a partnership between the Forward and Hazon.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
