Have I got a story for you

Dear Reader,

 

Last night, the Forward held its annual fundraising gala — virtual for the second year in a row! Several hundred people joined in and heard powerful stories from Forward journalists, Taffy Brodesser-Akner, Etgar Keret, Miz Cracker and others. Actor David Duchovny discovered his Yiddish roots in an emotional interview with our editor-in-chief, Jodi Rudoren. And we were all moved by musicians Brivele, Daniel Kahn (and his son!), and Gili Yalo.


We're excited to share the recording of the event with you since our annual gala celebrates our community, and we wouldn’t have a community without you, our readers. We are grateful for all of you who join our dynamic conversations, send hard-hitting questions to our columnists, and support our work financially. 

WATCH THE RECORDING

The gala is over, but our work continues. Our writers and editors are already back on their beats, bringing you the news, commentary, community-focused stories, and groundbreaking events that only the Forward can. If you’re already excited to see what’s next, show your support with a gift to the Forward today.

 

Lisa Lepson,
VP, Development
