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.
A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.
We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.
If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
