Corrections: March 27, March 29, April 10
The March 27 East Village Mamele column, “Domestic Workers’ Rights: A Matter of Ethics,” misstated that the Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights includes a living wage of $12 per hour. The bill does not include a living wage. It does, however, include a health care stipulation.
The April 10 opinion article “Bursting the ‘Bubble,’ as Tel Aviv Turns 100” mistakenly attributed remarks noting that a relatively small percentage of fallen soldiers during the Second Lebanon War came from Tel Aviv to the army’s home front commander. The remarks should have been attributed to the army’s manpower chief.
In a March 29 article, “Barak Faces Uphill Battle To Unite Labor Party,” Jonathan Rynhold, a Bar Ilan University political scientist, was mistakenly identified as Daniel Rynhold.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
