Ned Lamont Dines With Shimon Peres
Despite his repeated public statements in support of Israel, the pro-Israel bona fides of Ned Lamont, Connecticut’s Democratic Senate nominee, have been a continual source of debate throughout the campaign – in part because of the company (Maxine Waters, Marcy Kaptur) that he keeps.
Now, it looks like Lamont has a new friend: Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres.
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
