Jewish War Veterans Aren’t Monkeying Around

This cover — from the February issue of The Jewish Veteran, the magazine of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America — may very well be the greatest Jewish magazine cover in the annals of our people’s history. And unlike a certain other magazine known for its consistently clever covers, The Jewish Veteran is deploying cleverness, not for the sake of laughs, but on behalf of a very important cause. Bravo!
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
