Dear Reader,

Soon, we’ll gather around the Passover table to retell one of our foundational stories: the exodus from slavery to freedom. The Seder is our annual reminder that we can’t take our freedoms for granted.


At a time when many newsrooms are cutting back or closing down, the freedom to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly is one we must all protect. The Forward pursues the truth wherever it takes us, delivering the news, investigations, narrative storytelling and commentary that American Jews need and deserve.


At Hanukkah we took down the Forward’s paywall, making our journalism free to everyone everywhere. This Passover, we’ve set an ambitious goal for 500 people to make a gift to help keep the Forward available to all. Will you be one of them?

Now is the time to pledge your support for independent journalism that tells the American Jewish story fully and fairly. When you make a donation, you become a member of the Forward, and help us with this mission. Pledge your support today during our Passover Pledge Drive.


Thank you for investing in independent Jewish journalism,
