Want to know the story of Hanukkah? Only got, like maybe half a minute? You’re in luck.
We’ve created an animated GIF that explains the whole thing, with a little help from Jon Stewart, “New Girl” and many other (Jewish) pop icons.
Happy Hanukkah!
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
