Joe: Show Me The Money
The New Republic has an article up on its Web site claiming that Joe Lieberman has only just begun to fight (a little late, no?). A key to a November victory, one Lieberman aide said, would be Jewish and pro-Israel money:
“There’s going to be a lot of people around the country who heard that appeal about being fed up with the politics of polarization and Washington. Also, there will be pro-Israel money, and the Jewish community will rally to his side in a big way. Raising money is the least difficult part of this challenge.”
"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.
