Meet Our Readers’ Top Jewish Dogs

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky

George, the Hungarian puli.
We asked, you barked back.
After ranking the “Top Jewish Dogs of All Time” last week, we thought it was time to go a little closer to home.
And so, behold the top Jewish dogs in North America, as sent in by our readers. We were overwhelmed by the amount of submissions and the enthusiasm with which you guys described your four-legged members of the tribe!
Some are gefilte fish lovers, some spin a dreidel with style and some made a Jewish mother proud with their profession but one thing’s for sure: they’re all pretty darn Jewish.
Enjoy!
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
