The Forward Book Club

Join our virtual book club, led by Rachel Fishman Feddersen, publisher & CEO; Chana Pollack, archivist; and Talya Zax, deputy culture editor. This month we’re reading “People of the Book” by Geraldine Brooks and will meet every Wednesday in May on Zoom. Brooks — a journalist and novelist who won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for fiction for her book “March” — will be joining us to discuss the novel for our last meeting!

Yihye Tov: A conversation/concert with David Broza
May 14 7 p.m. ET

Written with Yonatan Geffen in 1977, Broza’s anthem “Yihye Tov” (Things Will Be Better) has never been more resonant. On May 14, Jodi Rudoren, Forward editor-in-chief, will talk with the famed Israeli singer-songwriter about his life in quarantine in New York City; his just-released instrumental album of Spanish guitar, En Casa Limón; and the prospect of Tu B’av without his predawn concert on Masada. Plus, he’ll strum and hum a few bars, maybe even take some requests.

Can't make it? This talk will be recorded and available on our website.
