My two-year old grandson, Leyzer, loves listening to Bible stories. Last week his parents, Naftali and Jessye Ejdelman, quizzed him on the scene where Moyshe Rabeynu (Moses) discovers the burning bush, and realized that Leyzer had a rather surprising perspective on it.
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.
