In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by the Forward’s Deputy Culture Editor, Naomi Zeveloff to discuss how the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Boro Park is coping, one year after the tragic abduction and murder of 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky. Then Forward intern Simi Lampert explains why she feels like she is bragging when she uses the word “fiancé.” Finally, on the occasion of Natalie Portman’s marriage, Naomi and Nate Lavey, Forward Digital Media Producer, renew their ongoing battle over the merits of the Jewish actress.
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.
