Editor’s note
Why this page has been removed from our website

Editor’s note: This page has been removed from our website because it did not meet our editorial standards. Published on June 7, 2023, it was an illustrated guide to the Jewish nominees for Tony Awards, combining drawings and descriptions of the nominees, and some quotations from them.
We discovered after publication that virtually all of the descriptions and quotations had previously appeared in other places. The original, uncredited sources include Wikipedia; The Guardian; The Jewish Standard; Hey Alma; a previously published article in the Forward; NPR; and Playbill.
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 uncredited 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
