Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward editor Jane Eisner and Larry Cohler-Esses to discuss our annual feature survey of the salary of the highest paid leaders of groups representing the Jewish community. They also talk about why the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee are not raising as much money as before. Finally, Washington correspondent Nathan Guttman phones in to discuss the latest appearances of Republican candidates at the Republican Jewish Coalition.
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
