Dear Reader,
Jewish culture has a grand tradition of getting its best wisdom from women. From matchmakers to midwives, Jewish women have been the backbone of community knowledge and advice for generations.
The Forward launched the original Bintel Brief as an advice column in 1906. Today, the “bundle of letters” is a thriving podcast, and it’s our honor — as Jewish moms and great lovers of giving our opinions — to continue that legacy.
The Forward's cultural and communal influence helped us become the writers and columnists we are today. While the format of "A Bintel Brief" may have changed, the power of good Jewish advice hasn’t. Neither has the importance of the Forward.
