This American Jewish Life: Election Perspectives

As support for Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas War and the prospect of a (partly) Jewish family in the White House all vie for political attention, we ask what’s at stake for Jewish Americans as they head to the polls. Join Jodi Rudoren, editor of the Forward, America’s oldest Jewish news publication; Washington-based journalist and author Emily Tamkin (Bad Jews); and former Washington correspondent and Sunday Times News Review editor Josh Glancy for an in-depth US election special. See our literary take on the election in a piece about Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America in the Autumn 2024 issue of JR.
