“As a young Jewish adult who was engaged in Jewish activities throughout high school and college, I moved back to my hometown of Dallas five years ago and began searching for a fresh, innovative and spiritually moving Jewish community. Unfortunately, it didn’t exist. Then, six months ago, Makom — a project of Shearith Israel founded and led by Rabbi David Singer — launched and became a thriving community that takes over wine bars and living rooms to study Torah and gathers hundreds of young Jews for unparalleled Shabbat services and holiday celebrations. Rabbi Singer brings Torah to life and pushes young Jews in Dallas to build the Jewish community they’ve always dreamed of.”

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.
