Editorial: We welcome our New Publisher

Among the pleasures of newspaper work is feedback from readers, which comes in the form of letters, phone calls and emails. As a publication serving the wider spectrum of Jewish Orthodoxy, it is no easy task to represent this spectrum in an accurate, professional and objective manner.

Among our longtime readers is Karen Green of Woodmere. With a background in government and politics, and a passion for connecting with people, Green has arrived in the newsroom with an extensive knowledge of the Jewish landscape of Long Island. Green is proud of the extensive list of Capital Projects that she spearheaded in concert with elected officials throughout the Five Towns and Nassau County during her tenure in local government.

A goal oriented individual, Green speaks with great enthusiasm of results achieved through identifying and cultivating relationships. She’s especially proud of facilitating an introduction between Kulanu and St. Joachim Parish leading to the purchase of Kulanu’s current location on Central Avenue. She shares the view that the community deserves a publication with a modern perspective, concise writing, and informed opinion columnists.

She hopes that The Jewish Star will be a forum for the exchange of thoughts and ideas within the community and will additionally promote a greater understanding of Jewish life to the greater New York population. In sharing our goal of promoting unity and expanding coverage, The Jewish Star is GOING GREEN.
