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.

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’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
