Arlen Specter and the Koby Mandell Act (Correction)
An article in the July 18 issue of the Forward incorrectly reported that Senator Arlen Specter had not signed on to the Koby Mandell Act. Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, supports the measure.
A photo caption in the August 1 issue incorrectly identified the members of the rock band The Successors. They were, from right to left, Max Klajman, Simon Zakalnik and Olek Kuperberg.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
