The Wit and Witticisms of Shoshana
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Season two of “Girls” wrapped up last weekend, but here’s something to tide fans over for a bit. New York Magazine put together this collection of the “The Wit and Witticisms” of Shoshana, the show’s most Jewish character (see below). And if you haven’t done so yet, read our piece about how Shoshana reinvented the JAP character here.
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
