Better than any history book, the Internet has made it its mission to tell the story of Brexit with “Seinfeld” clips and they are hilarious. Whoever thought of this is a genius!
There’s the one of George as the UK and the sympathetic Jerry as the United States, encouraging him to just pretend the vote never happened.
And then when George takes his advice and shows up at the first post-Brexit European Union meeting. (Hint: it doesn’t go well.)
Then, of course, there’s Jerry as the spiteful Brexit voter taking his decision back almost immediately after he makes it. This video has no sound but it’s definitely worth a watch.
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
