In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward reporter Paul Berger to discuss New York may ease restrictions on lawsuits stemming from decades-old cases of child sex abuse and, if the law passes, how it might bring justice for victims at Yeshiva University. Then, Forward Washington correspondent Nathan Guttman reports back from his trip to AIPAC, which seemed somewhat under-whelming this year.

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
