A Living Lens: Who’s That With Yitzhak Shamir?
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
I recently received a note from Elaine Winik of Florida, whose daughter Penny Goldsmith heard me speak in Westchester on October 24. At the end of the talk, Goldsmith bought a copy of the book and sent it on to her mother, who writes:
I would like to make one correction. The “unidentified woman” in the photograph with Prime Minister Shamir (page 277) is about to be identified. I am that woman and, as national chairman of the Woman’s Division [of the UJA] from 1972 to 1975, I had the privilege of meeting many of Israel’s leaders. Not world-shaking but I just thought I would set the record straight. Even without identification, I am happy to find myself in such a wonderful book.
We’re happy to have you, Mrs. Winik — especially now that we know who you are.

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.
