Test LinkRabbi Pinchas Allouche
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
“Rabbi Allouche walked 10 miles to my father’s home on Sukkot to provide us with comfort and counsel when my mother passed away. I don’t know if the 10 miles were made longer in that the destination was a house of mourning or shorter because he carried Torah with him. Along the way he has welcomed me into his family for countless Shabbat and Yom Tov celebrations, asking only that I share in the simcha. Teacher, mentor, father, spiritual leader and friend, Rabbi Allouche has brought to our city a unique combination of Torah wisdom, Talmudic knowledge, Jewish spirituality and worldliness.”

"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.
