General FAQ

• Do I need to subscribe to read the Forward?

  The Forward no longer has a paid subscription offer. As of December 2023, for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is now free and available to everyone, everywhere.

  We are taking this step because during this chaotic moment of war, disinformation and rising antisemitism, open access to our independent Jewish journalism is essential. That means, like National Public Radio and other nonprofit newsrooms, we are reader-supported and your donation makes our work possible.
