What wonderful suggestions to add to the list. I'm honored to be considered among them. I find it interesting that Jane Eisner called out this issue right from the get-go, and not only invites suggestions (you should post a link to this blog in the comments at http://www.forward.com/forward... ) but also questions whether they are looking in the right places. Idit, for example, may not always be on center stage, but her work has put an issue on the communal agenda in such a powerful and important way that goes far beyond the traditional organizations and structures of the Jewish community, and into the street, the home and the community in a way that I think the Forward 50 is intended to represent. Where else should they (we) be looking?
