Jewcy’s Return
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Jewcy, the online magazine appealing to young Jews, relaunched today with a nice-looking website and some fresh content.
The nonprofit cousin of JDub records maintains its robust music and books coverage, but has added sections for news, food, social justice and family and features an events calendar, which is certainly needed in the Jewish webiverse.
Some noteworthy posts:
• Judd Apatow’s public service announcement for American Jewish World Service featuring known non-Jews Lindsey Lohan, Tracy Morgan and Sir Patrick Stewart and a few Jews like Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman.
• A JDate with Jon Stewart. Or his avatar. For that Washington thing he did. It’s so Monday already.
• An interview with Will Schneider, the director of pioneering Jewish philanthropy, Slingshot.
Welcome back, Jewcy.
I’m personally matching all gifts to the Forward, up to $36,000. Can I match your gift now?
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
