After 25 Years, Soviet Emigrés Still Strangers
The October 15 article “After 25 Years, Soviet Emigrés Still Strangers” incorrectly stated Laura Breitberg’s position. She is the resettlement coordinator for Jewish Family and Children Services of Greater Kansas City. Due to an editing error, the article also failed to note the continuing involvement of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society in absorption of immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Please see letter on page 10.
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
