Capital J Salon: An Evening with the Forward’s Arno Rosenfeld

Teens (13-17), Adults (18+)

Date : Wednesday, Feb 11

Time : 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join author and award-winning journalist Arno Rosenfeld for a fireside chat as we kick off the second season of Capital J.

Join us for a fireside chat with Arno Rosenfeld, author of the Antisemitism Decoded newsletter and Enterprise Reporter at the Forward. An award-winning investigative journalist, he has chronicled the Jewish American response to antisemitism, including Jewish college students confronting hostile political climates on campus, local communities grappling with white supremacist propaganda and the deep rifts among national organizations over how to keep Jews safe.

Rosenfeld is based in Washington, D.C., and has reported for the Forward from Charlottesville, Virginia; Colleyville, Texas; Tel Aviv; Berlin; the Israeli-occupied West Bank; and elsewhere. He won a 2025 Deadline Club Award from the New York City chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists for his coverage of American Jewish philanthropy in the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas war and the Boris Smolar Award for Excellence in Investigative Reporting from the American Jewish Press Association in 2023 for his article on the experience of Jewish students engaged in Israel politics at George Washington University. Rosenfeld previously covered state politics for the Casper Star-Tribune, Wyoming’s statewide newspaper, where he was won the Pacemaker Award for Agriculture Reporting from the Wyoming Press Association for coverage of wild horses. He got his start in Jewish journalism at J, The Jewish News of Northern California, and has written for JTA, The Times of Israel and other publications.
