In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward blogger Simi Lichtman to discuss her new blog, where she is documenting her first year of marriage. Then, Josh looks at the numbers from the newest UJA survey of New York’s Jewish communities and reveals which neighborhoods are growing, which are shrinking and which made the most money.
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
