I still remember my first Passover Seder — it was the JCRB|AJC Kansas City Unity Seder in 2019. At the time, I wasn’t Jewish, and I was just a year into my marketing job with Jewish Federation, so I was still learning a lot about Judaism.
I will be completely honest: there have been times in my two years as editor that I didn’t feel very hopeful for the long-term future of The Chronicle — the oft-spoken cries of “print media is dying” and “young people aren’t interested in community news” were genuinely getting to me.
