Amy E. Schwartz: The Art of Argument
Tuesday, November 17 at 1pm, ET / 10am, PT
Join Moment Books & Opinion Editor Amy E. Schwartz for a conversation about her remarkable career in journalism, her Jewish journey and her belief in the power of thoughtful disagreement. From her early days atThe Harvard Crimson to stints at Harper’s and The New Republic and nearly two decades at The Washington Post, Amy has brought to her work curiosity, rigor and a willingness to engage deeply with difficult cultural questions. At Moment, Schwartz connects literary criticism and opinion journalism with an enduring interest in ethical questions and Jewish thought. As editor of the “Ask the Rabbis” section, she brings voices from across Jewish traditions into conversation, and with “Moment Debate,” she creates space for strong, sometimes competing perspectives on pressing social, political and moral issues of our time. In conversation with writer and author Adam Cohen.
In recognition of her extraordinary contributions to literary journalism and public conversation, Amy is the recipient of Moment’s 2026 Mitchell & Gloria Levitas Literary Journalism Award.
