A Message to Forward Readers

Dear Reader:
Everyone on the East Coast has a story about experiencing Hurricane Sandy. You’ve already seen some of these stories on our website, forward.com, describing the storm’s impact on hard-hit Jewish communities and individuals. All this has been reported, edited and published despite devastation across the region and unprecedented flooding that has made our Lower Manhattan offices inaccessible.
The Forward staff has continued its work even though many of us have been stranded in darkened homes or distant cities. With intermittent access to electricity and the Internet, our website, Facebook page and Twitter feed have been updated regularly throughout the weather emergency.
Our printed newspapers, too, are being produced and mailed this week, as usual, though there may be postal delays in bringing your copy to you. This is beyond our control, and we regret any inconvenience. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

A message from our Publisher & CEO 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
