The November 7 article “There Once Was a World: ‘Jewish New York’ ” incorrectly identified the author of “Jewish New York: Notable Neighborhoods and Memorable Moments.” His name is Ira Wolfman.
Due to an editing error, the pre-World War I Hashomer defense organization was incorrectly identified as “socialist” in a November 7 book review (“Hijacking History”). The defense organization had no connection to the later, socialist Hashomer Hatzair party and youth movement.
