Forward columnist Bethany Mandel gave birth to her third child on the side of the road in New Jersey on Friday morning.
Mandel and her husband Seth were in transit when labor ensued. The child, a boy, was delivered by Seth in a parking lot of an auto body shop in Sand Hills, N.J.
On behalf of the Forward, we wish mazel tov to Bethany and the entire Mandel family.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
