Tying the Knot While Rolling the Dice (Correction)
A recent article on Jewish weddings in Las Vegas (“Tying the Knot While Rolling the Dice,” June 24) erroneously suggested that prostitution is legal in Las Vegas. Though legal in a number of Nevada counties, Clark, where Las Vegas is located, is not among them.
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.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
