Bringing Spanish Literature to Life (Correction)
The January 23 article “Bringing Spanish Literature to Life — in English” referred to translator Edith Grossman incorrectly. She is divorced.
The January 30 article “Cost of Medicine Imperiling Lives of Sick Survivors” cited a statistic incorrectly. If California’s proposed budget passes, the Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles will lose 10% of its $4.5 million — that is, $450,000 — in state funding for its case management program and adult healthcare centers, according to Paul Castro, executive director of the Jewish Family Service.
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
