Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Israeli correspondent Nathan Jeffay to discuss why Benjamin Netanyahu has called for early elections and who might challenge him. Then, Forward editor Jane Eisner gives her impressions of the vice presidential debate. Finally, Forward fellow Seth Berkman and Eli Valley drop some knowledge on the new mixtape by Rick Ross entitled “The Black Bar Mitzvah.”
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
- Alyssa Katz, 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.
