Israeli Designer Goes Her Own Way
The February 25 article “Israeli Designer Goes Her Own Way” stated that some of fashion designer Roni Rabl’s source material comes from a factory in Gaza. The factory in question is at the Erez Junction, which is considered part of Israel.
The March 4 article “Top Jewish Council Urges Congress Not To Block Plan for Palestinian Aid” stated that members of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs unanimously approved a resolution supporting $350 million in direct aid to the Palestinian Authority. Members of the Jewish War Veterans said that they voted against the resolution.
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.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
