Editor’s note, 9/18/19, 5:15 p.m.: The Forward has removed this article, published Sept. 11, after learning that it was based on an erroneous reading of public documents related to a loan agreement between American Hebrew Academy, a Jewish boarding school in North Carolina that announced its closure in June, and Puxin Limited, a Chinese educational company. An updated article on the school’s plans to reopen in 2020 can be found here, along with an accounting of the errors, which The Forward regrets.

We’ve helped five generations of American Jews make sense of the news and the world around them — and we aren’t slowing down any time soon.
