War for Jewish Vote Seen in Philly Mayoral Race (Correction)
President Bush did not attend a fundraiser for Republican Philadelphia mayoral candidate Sam Katz, as reported in the October 10 article “War for Jewish Vote Seen in Philly Mayoral Race.” Rather, Bush praised Katz at the president’s own Pennsylvania fundraiser.

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.
