We’re always citing the Forward, as in the English publication.
But today we’re showing a little love to the Forverts — the Yiddish publication that is literally the descendant of the legendary newspaper edited by Ab Cahan.
To be more specific — Forverts TV. As in… "Est Gezunterheyt!"… "Eat in Good Health: A Cooking Show With Rukhl Schaechter and Eve Jochnowitz."
Full disclosure: Not only do I have a soft spot for Rukhl because of the many disccussions/arguments we shared in the Forward lunchroom, but because she’s the one who translates JTA articles for the Forverts. (Yes, it’s true, we’re even funnier/wittier in Yiddish!)
