Bildner Center 25th Anniversary Kick-Off Celebration

What does it mean to have a Jewish perspective on the news? How does the distinctiveness of the Jewish experience inform how we view what happens in the United States and in the world?

Gal Beckerman’s career at both legendary Jewish institutions like the Forward and influential secular ones like the New York Times has given him a unique perspective on what it means to pursue objectivity while understanding one’s own specific identity commitments, enriching both.

Beckerman will share stories and insights from his years as an editor and writer, covering international news as well as art and culture.
