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:
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.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
