Heads Up to Adam Sandler: Howard Dean Lights the Menorah
Howard Dean released a Happy Hanukkah message over the weekend, reminding us that he does hold a candle to the RNC’s Jewish outgoing chief Ken Mehlman. Yes, Dean, who would have given the country its first Jewish First Lady, lights the menorah:
“Tonight, as my family and I light the first candle of the menorah, we ask for a renewed sense of purpose and strength. We wish all a meaningful holiday season and a happy Hanukkah.”
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.
