It's the editor of Commentary magazine. I am now hereby today announcing to all

listeners and to all readers of commentary and to all interested parties something that has not exactly been a secret, but I am making

public the fact that our 2024 commentary roastee, our annual dinner, our annual benefit on Sunday, November 17, 2024 in New York

City will be none other than Natatan Sharanski.

Perhaps the greatest living Jewish hero,

You want to find out how we're going to roast? That's on Joranski

in person live in New York City on November 17th. You're going to have to come. You're

going to have to buy a seat. You're going to have to buy a table. You're going to want

to sponsor this event. Everybody who has been to this event, this is I think our 14th.
