Dear Forward Reader:
Our world changes January 20. How will you respond?
For the next four years, the Forward will hold our elected officials accountable — to the U.S. constitution, to democratic principles, and to the values American Jews cherish — just as we’ve done since 1897.
We’re going to continue publishing real journalism based on facts, not fear.
And we’re going to help American Jews understand what President Trump’s decisions mean for them, every minute of every day, at Forward.com.
Your donations power our reporting. Take a stand. Give today.
With appreciation,
Rachel Fishman Feddersen
Publisher and CEO
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
- Alyssa Katz, 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.
