What Is It About the Lower East Side?
Due to an editing error, the owner of auction house Kestenbaum and Company was misidentified in a photo caption in the December 17 issue. He is Daniel Kestenbaum.
The December 10 article “What Is It About the Lower East Side?” cited classic American success stories such as Andrew Carnegie and Bill Gates and inadvertently added Alger Hiss. The intention was Horatio Alger. Whoops.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and the protests on college campuses.
