Jews and Sex Trafficking; Orthodox E-Rate Windfall; Six Word Memoirs

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward editor Jane Eisner to discuss the modern and historical Jewish communal response to sex trafficking. Then, Josh talks with news editor Larry Cohler-Esses about why Lakewood, New Jersey is raking in federal funds for internet connectivity in schools. Finally, deputy culture editor Naomi Zeveloff stops by to discuss the Forward’s six-word memoir project devoted to Jewish moms.
The Forward is partnering with Larry Smith, editor of SMITH Magazine, home of the Six-Word Memoir®, to celebrate Mother’s Day.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
