The Forward

The Forward (Yiddish: פֿאָרווערטס, romanized: Forṿerṭs), formerly known as The Jewish Daily Forward, is an American news outlet that focuses on issues of interest to Jewish American readers. It was founded in 1897 as a Yiddish-language daily socialist newspaper. The New York Times reported that Seth Lipsky "started an English-language offshoot of the Yiddish-language newspaper" as a weekly newspaper in 1990. In the 21st century, The Forward became a digital-only publication.
