In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward deputy culture editor, Naomi Zeveloff, to discuss the our ongoing series about transgender Jews and the response so far. Then, opinion editor Gal Beckerman drops by to discuss what the US is and isn’t doing about Syria. Finally, we check back in with Hasidic popstar Lipa Schmeltzer.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
