Clinton Wedding: Here Comes the Bride (Finally)
This week the Forward has rounded up all the facts (read: rumors) on the nuptials of our favorite first daughter Chelsea Clinton to New York i-banker Marc Mezvinksy.
We’ve told you all about the guy, dished about how the MOTB really feels about the wedding, revealed the Yiddish past of Rhinebeck, NY, the supposed site of the blessed event, and even imagined a WikiLeaks from the wedding’s headquarters.
At this point, we have to ask, aren’t you sick of it? Thank goodness that Shabbos dinner for the Mezvinsky-Clinton clan will be the rehearsal dinner so we can all take a break, raise our kiddush cups and say “Mazel Tov to Marc and Chelsea.” (We’ll wait with bated breath for the real deets from the wedding on Sunday morning.)
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.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
