I am extremely excited and honored to share that last night, the Forward took home 33 awards from the American Jewish Press Association's 42nd annual Simon Rockower Awards ceremony for work published in 2022.

We had 10 first-place wins, in a range of categories that show our breadth: investigative reporting, politics, arts, food and wine, Black-Jewish relationships, personal essays, commentary, antisemitism and stories about young families. A few of my favorite pieces that were honored:

“In London, an antisemitism scandal has sparked a play about antisemitism. Is it helping?” by Talya Zax
“What it’s really like to be Jewish on a campus ‘hotspot’ of antisemitism” by Arno Rosenfeld
“It was the most successful Jewish ad campaign of all time — but who was the model?” by Andrew Silverstein

To celebrate with us, and enjoy the highest quality journalism, you can find all of our winning work HERE. There's a ton of great stuff to read, and I am so proud of all of our journalists! So, I recommend you bookmark it and would love for you to share the ones you admire with your friends.

The Forward has continued to publish and amplify the independent Jewish journalism you trust — and we're so thankful the American Jewish Press Association recognized our hard work.

On behalf of all of us at the Forward, I hope you'll join us to make this our most powerful year ever. We couldn’t do it without you and hope you'll support our efforts to produce the best of the best. Please consider donating to support our award-winning Jewish journalism today.
