Some of the Superhumanistic Jews who made the Backward possible in 5773 were Mr. Dr. Simon Shaw, Karen “K-Lo” Loew, Jason “Jar-El” Reich, “Demographic” Rob Kutner, Jonathan “JZ” Zacks, Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson, Gail “Gail” Lerner, Larry Cohler-Esses (leader of the Cohler-Essenes), “Sir” Paul Berger, Prof. Dr. Eddy Portnoy and the Rt. Hon Bob Goldfarb.
The Spiegels and Schusters of this enterprise were Kurt Hoffman on pictures, Anthony Weiss on words and Dan Friedman on corporate appropriation.
The Backward is the Forward’s annual satirical Purim edition. Enjoy!
