Forward reporter Naomi Zeveloff is joined by artist-in-residence Eli Valley who has a new sci-fi inspired cartoon that pillories Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his views of American Jews.
Then, Naomi speaks with opinion editor Gal Beckerman and columnist Lenore Skenazy about the killing of Leiby Kletzky and how it affects the way parents raise their children. Skenazy discusses her recent column that argues that a single tragedy “should not change childhood.”
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
