Barbra Streisand kicked off her nine-city tour this week, breaking a 4-year concert hiatus and taking to the stage in Babs-like epic proportions. She belted out “Papa, Can You Hear Me,” brought out Jamie Foxx for a duet and leveled many colorful digs at Donald Trump.
In celebration of the 74-year-old legend’s return, we’re throwing back to our very favorite vintage pictures of the singer(no, really, who could forget that sequined Oscars outfit?) Welcome back, Babs! We missed you.
From a photo shoot for her number 1 album “People.”

Hello gorgeous.

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
