Shana Tova,

For me, for you, for our entire community: it’s been a difficult year. We’ve witnessed war, campus protests and outbreaks of antisemitism. We find ourselves in the middle of a chaotic and divisive election campaign.

But as I take stock of the challenges from the past year, I am proud of the role the Forward has played for the American Jewish community. Our fearless journalism is an essential tool for understanding the world. At every turn of this unpredictable year, we’ve been here for you.

This Rosh Hashanah, I’m asking you to be here for us. If you’ve relied on the Forward to better understand events and their impact on our community, I hope you’ll support our work by starting a monthly donation today.A generous donor will even match your gifts for the first six months.

I’d rather make a one-time gift.

The complicated, fractured, ever-evolving American Jewish conversation unfolds on the pages of the Forward, with coverage that you won’t find anywhere else.

You’re an essential part of that conversation. Journalism, perhaps especially Jewish journalism, is not a one-way relationship. It relies on your support.

As a member-supported, nonprofit news organization, we depend on that support to continue providing you with the thought-provoking and award-winning journalism you rely on.

Make a monthly or one-time High Holiday gift to the Forward today and invest in the future of Jewish journalism and the American Jewish conversation.

L’shana tova tikateyvu,

Jodi Rudoren

Editor-in-Chief
