Poem for 9/11
(for 9/11 loved ones) the in(di)visible
where you were once
the niggun
the tefilah
of my life
that instant transformed you
from musical notes and written words
to the spaces in between
where you can only be heard and read
by those who know how to
listen and look
for you
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.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Forward Publisher & CEO
