By Backward Staff March 21, 2016

When Barack Obama went to visit Jane Eisner at the Sheldon Adelson Backward White House, our photographers were on hand to capture the moment.

We asked our readers what they were saying or thinking and we had literally tens of responses. We are delighted to announce the winner of the caption competition, who wins an $18 voucher toward a year’s subscription to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

This is what Harry Lender thought might have been going on.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
