Talk with the Forward’s Archivist Chana Pollack about the Catskills

The Catskills made a big impression on readers of “The Forverts,” (Forward) the Jewish immigrant community’s Yiddish paper of record. Each summer, subscribers jammed the newspaper’s switchboards to ensure their beloved daily was delivered to their Borscht Belt boarding houses, bungalow colonies and resorts. Loaded with classified ads for Catskills farmland, boarding houses, hotels and even Yiddish summer camps, Forverts readers and writers found a home in the Borscht Belt for well over a century. Join archivist Chana Pollack on a journey through the historic Forward archives and see what the tumult was all about. The free event will be followed by a screening of the film, Dirty Dancing.

How the Left Can Fight Antisemitism

Since Oct. 7 and the outbreak of war in Gaza, debates around antisemitism have become more polarized than ever. Join Arno Rosenfeld, the Forward’s enterprise reporter, for a conversation with Shane Burley and Ben Lober, the authors of a new book proposing a “progressive, intersectional approach” for stopping antisemitism.


Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism uses personal stories, historical deep-dives, front-line reporting, and interviews with leading change-makers, with the aim of helping readers understand how antisemitism works, what’s missing in contemporary debates, and how to build true safety through solidarity, for Jews and all people.
