Silow-Carroll Wins David Twersky Award
Andrew Silow-Carroll of the New Jersey Jewish News won the first David Twersky Journalism Award.
Named for the paper’s former editor who died of cancer in 2010 at age 60, the prize was awarded to Silow-Carroll for a column he wrote in September about rabbis politicizing the pulpit.
The award, which was established to honor journalists at the NJJN and the Forward – two publications which Twersky once served – also carries with it a $1,000 honorarium. The award will be presented at the ceremony in the spring.
I’m personally matching all gifts to the Forward, up to $36,000. Can I match your gift now?
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
