As Empathy Fades
Due to an editing error, the April 29 article “As Empathy Fades,” by Joshua Halberstam, contained an inaccuracy. The root of the word charity is “caritas,” as the author had it, not “christos.”
In a May 13 arts piece, the name of the lead singer of the band Neutral Milk Hotel was misspelled. It is Jeff Mangum, not Magnum.
An April 29 profile of Rabbi Josh Simon, rabbi of the Actors Temple in New York, misidentified his genealogy. Rabbi Israel Goldfarb is his maternal, not paternal, grandfather.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
