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.

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.
