Forwarding the News is on vacation and will return to your inbox on January 2. Until then, we hope you'll enjoy this newsletter with today's news and features.
Jewish immigrant Jacob Starr designed the very first New Year’s Eve ball in 1907 (and personally lowered it himself). Three generations later, we talked to his granddaughter Tama Starr about the legacy of the ball drop.
Now more than ever, American Jews need news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. Support the Forward’s work with your donation.
