Jewish Officials Profess Shock Over Report on Zionist Body
An article on whistling in the March 11 issue described Frampol as a “fictional shtetl.” It is in fact an actual historical town.
Due to an editing error, the March 18 article “Jewish Officials Profess Shock Over Report on Zionist Body” incorrectly identified Mandell Ganchrow as current director of the Religious Zionists of America. He is the organization’s previous chief executive. Alan Mond currently serves in the position.
Due to an editing error, part of Al Grand’s Yiddish translation of Gilbert and Sullivan was missing from Der Yiddish Vinkl in the March 11, 2005, issue. The complete translation now appears online at www.forward.com.
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
