Corrections
The May 19 article “Rabbi Fired Over Sex Claims, Defenders Offer Mea Culpa” contained incorrect information about the location of Bayit Chadash, the spiritual center where the alleged abuser was a teacher. The center is located in Jaffa.
The May 19 article “Ala. Democrats Scramble To Bounce Shoah Denier From Primary Ballot” contained incorrect information about the 2002 attorney general candidacy of Larry Darby. He sought the Libertarian nomination, but did not receive it.
In addition, the article reported that Darby had been forced to resign as president of the Atheist Law Center because he hosted an event with a well-known Holocaust denier. The center’s current president, Carol Moore, sent the Forward a letter stating that Darby resigned to run for public office.
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
