Shul Dispute Nears End
The August 19 article “Shul Dispute Nears End” erroneously reported that the National Council of Young Israel entered into a contract to sell its building for less than the assessed market value. In fact, the only thing the article should have stated was that before any deal was closed, the proposed buyer was attempting to sell the property for $2 million more than the purchase price. We regret the error.
An August 19 review of “Sholem Asch Reconsidered” referred to Asch’s play “God of Vengeance” as “recently retranslated into English by Nobel Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies.” Margulies is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, not the Nobel Prize, and his version of “God of Vengeance” is not a retranslation but a free adaptation that transposes the play’s action from Eastern Europe to the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
