NEWSBRIEFS The Forward to Cease as Print Publication
AFTER 121 YEARS, Th e Forward will cease as a print publica-
tion this spring and instead focus on English and Yiddish online
editions, the New York Post reported on Jan. 16.

Th e Forward will lay off 40 percent of its editorial staff , includ-
ing Editor-in-Chief Jane Eisner.

Th e Post said Th e Forward is looking to attract those under 35
who read news primarily online.

“Th e Forward is taking the next step in making our brand
more relevant to our readers and more connected to their lives,”
Publisher and CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen said.

An unnamed source in the Post article said Th e Forward has
“been losing money for years, but lately the losses have been
more than $5 million a year.”

be repaid in full 90 days aft er the borrower returns to work. Apply
at hfl philly.org/ShutdownLoans.htm or call 267-225-7822.

Prison Congregation Gifts Photo to Interfaith Center
Th e Jewish Congregation at Phoenix, a maximum security
prison outside Philadelphia, gift ed the historic 1993 photo of
Israeli President Yitzhak Rabin shaking hands with Palestine
Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat to the
Interfaith Center of Greater Philadelphia, congregation coordi-
nator Bob Lankin said.

Th e photo, where both men are posing with President Bill
Clinton, originally hung in an area designated for a synagogue
at the State Correctional Institution at Graterford, Lankin said.

Th at synagogue closed in 2016 aft er the prison was audited by the
federal government regarding compliance with the Prison Rape
Elimination Act; because the synagogue has no cameras, it was
found to be in violation and closed.

Th ere was no synagogue space in the new prison (built next
to Graterford), so the old synagogue items, including the photo,
were stored away until recently.

ISRAELBRIEFS Bar Association Head Arrested in Sex Scandal
ISRAEL BAR ASSOCIATION leader Effit Naveh was arrested
Jan. 16 for allegedly nominating a female judge to a mag-
istrate’s court in exchange for sexual favors, The Times of
Israel reported.

The website reported that Naveh is also believed to have
had sexual relations with the wife of another judge to help him
advance to a higher court. Apparently, that promotion never
was granted.

As the leader of the Bar Association, Naveh held one of nine
seats on the Judicial Appointments Committee. That committee
determines placements and promotions for judges in Israel’s
three-tiered judicial system.

Naveh was released to house arrest despite a police request
that he remain in custody for three days.

Naveh also was indicted in December on suspicion that he
smuggled a woman out of the country, then tried to bring her
back in unregistered through border control.

Israeli Natural Gas to be Exported to Egypt
As part of its plan to sell its natural gas manufacturing services
across the globe, Israel will soon start exporting natural gas to
Egypt, JNS.org reported.

By selling the natural gas, Israel seeks to improve its existing
diplomatic relations and forge new ones.

Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said on Jan. 14 that exports
would double, but didn’t provide specific figures. Shipments to
Egypt are expected to reach 1.85 trillion gallons annually within
a decade, he said. Of the exports, half will be used for Egypt’s
domestic economy, with the other liquefied to be re-exported.

Tank Goes Off Course When Crew Dozes
An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tank crew fell asleep during a
training exercise, and the tank went out of control, including
crossing a major highway, according to The Algemeiner.

The Merkava 4 tank crew had been ordered to stay in place by a
platoon commander. A braking mechanism was supposed to have
been activated. The tank was later discovered 600 meters away
crossing a highway. Nobody was hurt and no damage was reported.

The incident occurred at the Armored Corps School during a
training course for tank commanders, Mako reported.

Vegetarian Chief of Staff Sworn In
Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi — who is reportedly the first vegetarian to
hold the position — was sworn in Jan. 15 as Israel’s military chief
of staff, JTA reported.

Kochavi, 54, is a former paratrooper who earned master’s
degrees in public administration from Harvard University and
in international relations from Johns Hopkins University. He
succeeds Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot.

Kochavi headed the Military Intelligence Directorate and the
Northern Command and was decorated for serving during the
Second Lebanon War in 2006 and Operation Protective Edge in
Gaza in 2014.

“As the head of the General Staff, while I have national secu-
rity and the good of the state before me, I make a new vow. There
is much work to be done,” he said.

Kochavi and Eisenkot upheld tradition after the swear-
ing-in by visiting the Mount Herzl national military cemetery
and memorial and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and
museum. They also met with President Reuven Rivlin. l
