Today in New Voices Magazine, we present “September 11, 2001: Half a Lifetime Ago,” seven essays by people for whom the decade since 9/11 represents one half of their entire life. Today’s college students grew up in the post-9/11 world and can hardly remember the pre-9/11 world.
These essays were co-published with The Jewish Daily Forward. Back in May, the New Voices office relocated to the cubicle I’m sitting in now in the office of the Forward. There are a lot of benefits to this location, but one of them is our growing relationship with the Forward, of which this project is the first tangible example.
Anyway, congrats to New Voices bloggers Laura Cooper, Geoffrey Edelstein and Simi Lampert; New Voices: Northwestern bloggers Naomi Nason and Joshua Walfish; and to New Voices National Correspondent Carly Silver on their excellent pieces. And a super-duper Mazal Tov to Simi, Naomi and Joshua–their essays, along with mine were reprinted in the Sept. 9 issue (see image above, which you can click on to enlarge) of the Forward and on forward.com.
Readers are responding so well to the essays, that they were the most read story on the Forward‘s website earlier today (see image below).
