In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward staff writer Paul Berger to discuss a lawsuit filed this week by former students of Yeshiva University who allege a long history of sex abuse. Then, Anne Cohen drops by to discuss how different pop stars are dealing with calls to boycott Israel. Finally Doni Bloomfield gives his take on the new zombie movie ‘World War Z’ and its depiction of Israel.

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.
