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.
Sam Norich

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask you to support the Forward’s award-winning journalism during our High Holiday Monthly Donor Drive.
If you’ve turned to the Forward in the past 12 months to better understand the world around you, we hope you will support us with a gift now. Your support has a direct impact, giving us the resources we need to report from Israel and around the U.S., across college campuses, and wherever there is news of importance to American Jews.
Make a monthly or one-time gift and support Jewish journalism throughout 5785. The first six months of your monthly gift will be matched for twice the investment in independent Jewish journalism.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
