H&M Gets Tallit-Chic
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
We wouldn’t recommend wearing this to synagogue if you want to stand out.
Recently we were taken aback when we saw this poncho in the window of retailer H&M (could it stand for Haim & Moshe?).
Now we’re left wondering if this will set off a new Tallit-chic trend. Will H&M start carrying kippot next?
Anything’s possible. Remember Jean-Paul Gaultier’s 1993 hasidic runway shows?
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.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
