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.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
