Join Forward Editor-in-Chief Jodi Rudoren for a conversation with Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman about her new book, “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.” For more than two decades, Maggie Haberman has been chronicling Trump’s rises and falls, and has been peerless in her ability to get under his skin and into his brain. From his beginnings as a real estate developer, to his emergence as a television celebrity, to his time in the White House and beyond, Haberman has broken story after story about Trump’s business dealings, political aspirations, personal peccadillos, health, family and more. |

Imagine “The Tonight Show” – but in mame-loshn. Known for his Jewish Comedy Acts, Rabbi Schechter has performed in many synagogues and venues in the U.S. and beyond. Earlier this year, he even joined us for an online comedy hour all in Yiddish: “Lakhn iz gezunt.” |

Many Jews use the term “Bad Jew” as a weapon against other members of the community or even against themselves. In Bad Jews, author Emily Tamkin argues that perhaps there is no answer to this timeless question, that throughout American history, Jewish identities have transformed in a variety of ways. The issue of what it means, or doesn’t, to be a Good Jew or a Bad Jew is particularly fraught at this moment, as American Jews feel and fear antisemitism is on the rise. In this book talk, moderated by Laura E. Adkins, Opinion Editor of the Forward, we will explore the profound ways in which American Jewish identities have transformed in the past 100 years. |

Salamone Rossi (1578-ca. 1628) was the first person to compose and publish Jewish choral music to illuminate sacred Hebrew texts. In celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of his ground-breaking “HaShirim Asher LiShlomo,” (“The Songs According to Solomon”[Rossi]). The Mantua Singers, under the direction of Matthew Lazar, will present a selection of his works for combinations of 3 – 8 voices. The Mantua Singers was created by Matthew Lazar to give voice to the extraordinary Jewish music of Salamone Rossi. While its members all enjoy successful solo careers, their combined sound, coupled with their unique ability to realize the Jewish sensibilities of the Italian master create an unparalleled ensemble. |
