After 37 years with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and now with the AJT, , Jaffe’s focus is lifestyle, art, dining, fashion, and community events with emphasis on Jewish movers and shakers.

The Anti-Defamation League’s Southeast Region dived into an issue that has been prominent this election season — respect, or the lack thereof — during a dessert reception for donors Thursday night, Nov. 3. Still operating under the interim leadership of Shelley Rose, ADL brought in a former regional director, Deborah Lauter, now ADL’s national senior vice president for policy and programs, to moderate a discussion between two Jewish journalists who are on the front lines of national politics and have seen the anti-Semitic venom flung at writers who have questioned or criticized Donald Trump: Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens and new Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg.
