“I’m Joan Rivers — let’s see who’s coming out of my closet tonight!”

That’s the beginning of Joan Rivers’s new web series, “In Bed With Joan.”
The answer, for the first episode, is Sarah Silverman, who craws right in for the “full mommy experience.”
During the episode the two comedians talk about what Jews keep in their pockets (crumpled up tissues, loose mints), whether it’s harder to be a woman in comedy, and whether Silverman would rather date Jimmy Fallon, Montel Williams or Oprah. It also doesn’t hurt that the theme song sounds a lot like Mordechai Ben David’s “Yidden” (also, like “Dschinghis Khan” by Dschinghis Khan).

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.
