Testimonials
“Thank you so much to Barbara Finkelstein of The Forward, nor only for [covering a protest against child sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community], but for reaching [out] initially after my comment on one of her articles. I’ve never met a journalist who was curious enough to follow up so thoroughly on dissenting comments.” — Asher Lovy, activist in the movement for the Child Victims Act (New York State), October 18, 2017, Facebook
“Rarely have I been lucky enough to come across a writer as skillful as Barbara. She sees the broad picture and [homes] in on what will be of interest to readers. Her distinct writing style is a literary delight; the only disappointment readers experience in her work is that it comes to an end. Plus, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Barbara is constantly positive and upbeat — and impacts others to be the same.” — Chany Rosenberg, managing editor, B-Tank magazine, August 22, 2018
