January 13: Columbus, Ohio: Story Of An Orthodox Female Journalist

Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt

By Forward Staff December 16, 2018

Join Forward Life editor Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt in Columbus, Ohio, as she explains how she balances journalism, family and the demands of being the wife of an Orthodox congregational rabbi.

Before working for the Forward, Chizhik-Goldschmidt was a New York-based reporter for Haaretz. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, and Salon, and she teaches journalism at Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Women.

On Sunday, January 13, Rabbi Avi Goldstein will be in discussion with Chizhik-Goldschmidt at “Let Me Hear Thy Voice: An Orthodox Female Journalist’s Story.”

The event will take place at 7 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Columbus. As part of the Women’s Torah Series, the discussion is free and open to the public.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
