Tell us your most ridiculous, hilarious, or cringe-worthy moment in Hebrew school. We’ll pick the 10 funniest submissions; the winners will appear in the February 3 issue of the Forward, and online. Post your nominations here, or email [email protected], and be sure to include your contact information. Names will not be changed to protect the embarrassed!
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
