Test LinkRabbi Pinchas Allouche
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
“Rabbi Allouche walked 10 miles to my father’s home on Sukkot to provide us with comfort and counsel when my mother passed away. I don’t know if the 10 miles were made longer in that the destination was a house of mourning or shorter because he carried Torah with him. Along the way he has welcomed me into his family for countless Shabbat and Yom Tov celebrations, asking only that I share in the simcha. Teacher, mentor, father, spiritual leader and friend, Rabbi Allouche has brought to our city a unique combination of Torah wisdom, Talmudic knowledge, Jewish spirituality and worldliness.”

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.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
