Jews and Sex Trafficking; Orthodox E-Rate Windfall; Six Word Memoirs
In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward editor Jane Eisner to discuss the modern and historical Jewish communal response to sex trafficking. Then, Josh talks with news editor Larry Cohler-Esses about why Lakewood, New Jersey is raking in federal funds for internet connectivity in schools. Finally, deputy culture editor Naomi Zeveloff stops by to discuss the Forward’s six-word memoir project devoted to Jewish moms.
The Forward is partnering with Larry Smith, editor of SMITH Magazine, home of the Six-Word Memoir®, to celebrate Mother’s Day.
