Editor’s note
Why this page has been removed from our website
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Editor’s note: This page has been removed from our website because it did not meet our editorial standards. Published on May 23, 2023, in honor of National Inventors Month, it was a graphic-novel style piece combining drawings and descriptions of things invented by Jews.
We discovered after publication that the handwritten descriptions were rife with factual errors and did not properly credit other published sources, including Wikipedia; an engineering and technology website called IEEE.org; the Wyld Networks blog; and the website of Auburn University.
Following journalistic best practices, the Forward has a policy not to remove pages from our website. But we made an exception in this case because the nature of the piece and the volume of the problematic material made it impossible to properly correct the record with integrity. We regret having published it.
I’m personally matching all gifts to the Forward, up to $36,000. Can I match your gift now?
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
