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.
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
