Reporters’ Roundtable: The Freedom Flotilla; Conservative Rabbis, Gay Marriage
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The efforts by activists to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, and the implications of New York’s recent passage of same-sex marriage legislation on Conservative movement clergy are the subjects of this week’s podcast. Host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with Forward opinion editor Gal Beckerman and with Joseph Dana, who is reporting from Athens on the “Freedom Flotilla,” and with Forward reporter Naomi Zeveloff. Then in final segment, The Best Jewish Story That Didn’t Make The Paper, the Roundtable considers the Yiddishkeit of a town in North Dakota.

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.
