We hope Stephen Colbert has started a new tradition. (TRADITIOOOONNN!)
Colbert must have learned a thing or two in the ways of Judaism from buddy Jon Stewart, because when he brought out the cast of Broadway’s “Fiddler on the Roof” to sing “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and “Tradition” during “Late Night” he had the audience on their feet.
Watching Colbert fumble as he puts his beard on is the best 15 seconds of your day and words can’t describe how adorable this video is. So we’re just going to leave you to it:
I’m personally matching all gifts to the Forward, up to $36,000. Can I match your gift now?
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
