Forward Welcomes Sisterhood Editor Sarah Breger

By Jane Eisner December 7, 2014

Ever since our Naomi Zeveloff moved to Israel in August to be a full-time Forward correspondent, we have been looking for the right person to take over one of her important duties: editing The Sisterhood blog.

I’m happy to announce that we have found that person in Sarah Breger.

Sarah is a skilled journalist — she’s the managing editor of Moment magazine — with a deep professional interest in the lives of and challenges facing Jewish women today. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the Columbia School of Journalism, Sarah has written on issues of religious divorce, reinventing ritual and Jewish women in popular culture.

Just in the last few weeks, you can see Sarah’s personality emerge, as The Sisterhood has jumped on all sorts of news, ranging from a quick, poignant response to the Har Nof murders in Jerusalem to the tough issues of campus rape and the sexualization of young girls.

Feel free to join The Sisterhood’s unique and essential conversation by contacting Sarah at breger@forward.com

Jane Eisner was editor-in-chief of the Forward from 2008 to 2019.

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.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. Support our work by becoming a Forward Member and connect with our journalism and your community.
