Public Talk: A Jewish Journalist's View of the World
Celebrate the Bildner Center’s 25th-Anniversary Kickoff Event featuring Gal Beckerman, award-winning author and senior editor at the Atlantic. 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.
