Moshe Ya’alon, left, the former chief of staff of the Israeli military, will be the keynote speaker at an August 15 memorial ceremony for the revisionist Zionist leader Vladimir “Ze’ev” Jabotinsky, who championed the creation of a Jewish state in what are now Israel, the West Bank and Jordan. Introductory remarks will be delivered by Seth Lipsky, right, the publisher of the New York Sun and the founding editor of the English edition of the Forward. The Shmooze has been unable to confirm whether former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer plans to participate.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
