Oval Office Interview with President Obama JANE EISNER

A Jewish Journalist’s

Exclusive Look Welcome to Haifa, the Israeli City Inside Iran that Refuses to Hate LARRY COHLER-ESSES NAOMI ZEVELOFF 3 News

The Jewish IN THE MIDST of last summer’s debate surrounding the Iran Senior Homes that nuclear agreement, the Forward made a bold move: we sent Aren’t (Anymore) our intrepid news editor Larry Cohler-Esses on a reporting NATHAN GUTTMAN mission to Iran. His accounts of Iranian attitudes—from those of religious and political leaders to those of average citizens— toward America, Israel, and the Jewish people were nothing short of astounding.

Just a few weeks later, the Forward’s editor-in-chief, Jane Eisner, was invited to the White House for an exclusive interview with President Obama. Jane asked the Presi- dent a series of penetrating questions about the Iran deal, the U.S.-Israel relationship, and his relationship with the American Jewish community, and got answers that were thoughtful, deeply considered, and, to a degree, surprising.

We also covered the frightening rise in violent attacks by Palestinians against Israeli Jews that began in 2015, sparked by false rumors of an Israeli takeover of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In the midst of that violence, we published a story by our Middle East correspondent, Naomi Zeveloff, about Jewish-Arab co-existence in Haifa, “the city that refuses to hate,” that was both inspired and inspiring.

We found further inspiration in staff writer Paul Berger’s story about an Orthodox charity that saves lives by promoting kidney donations—and an African American Can an Orthodox church leader considering whether to adopt a similar model for his community. And Charity Help our hearts went out to the older adults described in staff writer Nathan Guttman’s Save Lives in piece about the decline of a once-thriving group of B’nai Brith Jewish senior homes.

• Donors to the Forward 4 Culture

2009 2015 14 3,164 AT THE FORWARD, our coverage of Jewish culture isn’t incidental—it’s an essential aspect of our DNA. As the paper that first introduced writers like Isaac Bashevis Singer and Elie Wiesel to American audiences, the Forward’s legacy demands that we continue to celebrate the writers, artists, musicians, actors, chefs and others responsible for our ever-evolving Jewish culture in all its dazzling diversity.

In 2015, we introduced “Soundtrack of Our Spirit,” a new interactive, digital project at the Forward. Readers were asked to nominate the best and most inspiring new voices in Jewish music; we received 300 nominations and featured the top 12 selections—ranging from classical cantorial solos to folk-style tunes—on our website. The result was a marvelous display of talent that was both entertaining and uplifting.

Other highlights included opinion editor Sigal Samuel’s fascinating chronicle of her search for her Indian Jewish roots; contributing writer Debra Nussbaum Cohen’s review of the second season of “Transparent,” explaining why this cultural phenomenon is, indeed, the “Jewiest” television show ever; an exploration by our food editor, Liza Schoenfein, of a remarkable new trend of Israeli haute cuisine in the United States; and deputy culture editor Ezra Glinter’s lyrical review of three simultaneous museum exhibits examining Coney Island’s rich history and its place The Life and in our shared imagination.

How I Would Reaffirm Unbreakable Bond with Israel HILLARY CLINTON 7 Opinion

“TWO JEWS, THREE OPINIONS.” A cliché, perhaps, but it captures the essence of the Forward’s opinion journalism. A diversity of viewpoints is a Forward hallmark. For example, we published pieces by two well-known writers, Deborah Lipstadt and Anne Roiphe, with very different perspectives on the Jewish community’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis.

We’ve never been afraid to challenge the positions espoused by the institutions that serve our community—and in 2015, we upheld this Forward tradition in many instances. When the Reconstructionist movement announced its decision Let’s Think to admit and ordain intermarried rabbis, our editor-in-chief Jane Eisner explained why she felt this was a serious mistake—and why it matters to the broader Before Acting Jewish community. Rashly on Our editor-at-large, J.J. Goldberg, has written some of the opinion journalism of which we’re most proud. His opinions, while forceful, are carefully argued and always Migrant Crisis grounded in rigorous, painstaking research. A prime example is his piece analyzing the points of divergence between Netanyahu and his security experts. DEBORAH LIPSTADT The Forward’s reputation is such that when a national figure seeks to address the Jewish community, we’re the natural venue. Thus, former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton chose the Forward for her statement Why We Shouldn’t reaffirming the U.S.-Israel relationship. Accept Rabbis Who Marry Non-Jews: JANE EISNER 8 Yiddish

IN 2015, the Yiddish Forverts continued to inform, connect, provoke and entertain its readers with lively commentary and insightful journalism, exploring a broad range of subjects of interest to both native Yiddish speakers and new students of the language. Son of Saul Star Some of our most memorable articles chronicled the year’s milestone Yiddish Defends the cultural happenings. During the run-up to the Academy Awards®, we interviewed Geza Rohrig, the star of Son of Saul which ultimately won the best foreign language Sonderkommando Oscar®. Rohrig describes his personal journey to reclaim his Jewish roots. We also reported on the launch party, in a hip East Village watering hole, for the new online RUKHL SCHAECHTER Yiddish scholarly and cultural publication,In Geveb.

In addition, we explored the complex encounter between individuals in Hasidic and ultra-Orthodox communities and the modern world. For example, we reviewed Samuel 613, a remarkable short film about a young man who goes “off the path” in a London Satmar neighborhood. We interviewed transgender, ex-Hasid Abby (formerly Abe) Stein, who tells her unique story of transition to womanhood. And we published the personal account of popular ex-Hasidic blogger Ari Mandel.
