Silow-Carroll Wins David Twersky Award
Andrew Silow-Carroll of the New Jersey Jewish News won the first David Twersky Journalism Award.
Named for the paper’s former editor who died of cancer in 2010 at age 60, the prize was awarded to Silow-Carroll for a column he wrote in September about rabbis politicizing the pulpit.
The award, which was established to honor journalists at the NJJN and the Forward – two publications which Twersky once served – also carries with it a $1,000 honorarium. The award will be presented at the ceremony in the spring.
A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask you to support the Forward’s award-winning journalism during our High Holiday Monthly Donor Drive.
If you’ve turned to the Forward in the past 12 months to better understand the world around you, we hope you will support us with a gift now. Your support has a direct impact, giving us the resources we need to report from Israel and around the U.S., across college campuses, and wherever there is news of importance to American Jews.
Make a monthly or one-time gift and support Jewish journalism throughout 5785. The first six months of your monthly gift will be matched for twice the investment in independent Jewish journalism.
