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.”
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
