The Israel-based Jerusalem Post, London-based Jewish News and New York-based Forward are joining forces to celebrate Hanukkah in a joint broadcast event on Thursday, December 14 (3.30 p.m. NY time, 8.30 p.m. UK time, 10.30 p.m. Israel time).
Zvika Klein, interim editor-in-chief at the Jerusalem Post, Richard Ferrer, editor-in-chief at the Jewish News, and Jodi Rudoren, editor-in-chief at the Forward, will discuss how their newsrooms are covering Israel’s war with Hamas, the hate-fuelled spillover facing the Diaspora, and what’s next on both fronts.
A global Hanukkah candle-lighting
Israeli Government Spokesperson Eylon Levy - who has recently become one of the faces of Israel in the global media - will also join the event and will take questions from registered viewers.
The broadcast will also feature a performance by comedians of Eretz Nehederet - Israel’s version of Saturday Night Live - and will include a moving Hanukkah candle-lighting moment with hundreds of Jews across the world.
