NONPROFIT • READER-SUPPORTED • INDEPENDENT

Reader, 

I’m Laura E. Adkins, the new Opinion Editor at the Forward. I’m so proud to oversee the Opinion report, an increasingly rare platform for civil discourse that is filled with analysis and first-person perspectives from every corner of the Jewish world — and every point on the religious and political spectrums. 

As a Forward reader, you know that we bring diverse voices together in productive, civil conversation. In fact, we celebrate the views and beliefs of Jews from all across our community — and the opportunity to share them with you. 

During the recent escalation between Israel and Hamas, we delivered powerful perspectives from both Israeli and Gazan writers alongside our breaking news coverage, including interviews with activists, a photo essay from a Muslim-Jewish peace rally, and even a video op-ed of a comedian's biting take on the late night coverage of the conflict. 

The Forward’s reporters, editors and contributors are committed to fearless journalism that helps our readers make sense of the chaos around us and the events shaping the world.  We believe in independent Jewish journalism, showcasing diverse voices, and rigorous analysis  — and we can’t do it without your support. 

If you share our commitment to celebrating diverse voices and engaging with complexity, please donate today.  

Sincerely,

Laura E. Adkins
Opinion Editor
