After nine years with the Forward, I was promoted to Opinion Editor in April. You might wonder why I would want this job at one of the most complicated, fractured times for Jewish news. It’s because of you: Forward readers demand more from our Opinion section, and I knew it would be a golden opportunity to be part of the stories our community needs and deserves.
I work to ensure the Forward’s award-winning Opinion section reflects the full Jewish American conversation. We publish opinions and analysis from across the political, religious and cultural spectrum so that every American Jew can see themselves both reflected in — and challenged by — the Forward.
That’s why the Forward’s Opinion pages have become the go-to for our readers whenever news breaks. We know you want ideas (not arguments), outstanding writing that reflects the complexity of our times and a respectful forum that honors honest disagreement.
In fact, many of our readers have reached out to say that our coverage makes them feel more confident when discussing difficult issues, including Israel.
