With only a few days to go until the election, Israeli co-leaders of the Zionist Union — Tzipi Livni and Isaac Herzog (aka Buji) — wanted to do a little last-minute politicking. So they visited Tel Aviv’s outdoor Carmel Market.
They were really excited about it.
REALLY excited.
See, we eat pears! We’re personable!
Could this strawberry BE any bigger?!
Glad-handing over the avocados because WHY NOT.
Step away from the challah, Tzipi!
You think those are sweet?
Isn’t there a discount for amicable politicians?
All together now!
How much is this photo op costing me again?
We’re FUN. Don’t we look like FUN?
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.
