Forward Book Club
Wednesday, November 18 @ 3 p.m. ET/ 12 p.m. PT
It's your last chance to join our November Book Club. We're reading former Forward writer Max Gross' debut novel about a small Jewish village in the Polish forest that is so secluded no one knows it existed... until now. "The Lost Shtetl" was described as "imaginative and philosophical, funny and sad, old and new" in Kirkus. The author will be joining this session to answer your questions, so be sure to tune in!

Innovate or Die: How Jewish nonprofit leadership weathered 2020 and is leaning into 2021

Past Conversations
Couldn't make it to one of our virtual talks? Watch the recordings: Divided we fall: How the crises of 2020 have furthered the gaps among groups and what to do about it Watch an extraordinary conversation that brought together respected national leaders for a discussion of how antisemitism, racism and anti-Black/anti-Immigrant narratives have pervaded our national conversation during these tense pre-election days — AND what we can do about it. The Forward's Come As You Are gala: Comedy & cocktails in challenging times What a night! With an all-star lineup, nostalgic tunes, and the option to attend in our pajamas, we were eagerly awaiting the new experience of a virtual gala this year. But we had no idea it would leave us plotzing so hard! Watch the recording to re-live the fun. |
