New York/JTA
he largest individual financial sup-
porter of the national Jewish news-
paper the Forward is pulling out as an
owner following the forced resignation
of the paper's editor, Seth Lipsky.
Michael Steinhardt, a hedge-fund-
manager-turned-philanthropist who
has invested millions of dollars in the
weekly, said he will still support some
of the paper's projects in the Jewish
community. He said he believed the
Forward could survive without him.
The English-language version is suf-
fering annual losses of approximately
$2 million, according to the New York
Times. Its circulation never topped
30,000, and it never achieved the daily
publication envisioned by Lipsky.
Lipsky, whose resignation is effec-
tive May 25, had difficult relationships
with the paper's other major owner,
the Forward Association, for most of
the decade since he hired on to launch
the English-language edition of the
renowned Yiddish paper.
The Yiddish-language Forvertz, which
in the 1920s had a circulation nearing
250,000, made its name as the voice of
immigrant socialism — but not commu-
nism — and the Jewish labor movement.
Lipsky, on the other hand, came
from a background that included time
at the staunchly free market and politi-
cally conservative editorial board of the
Wall Street Journal. He hewed to a hard
line on peace both with Syria and the
Palestinians, most recently attacking
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak for
having a "double standard" for "assidu-
ously courting and praising the dicta-
tor at Damascus, Hafez al-Assad."
Equally egregious to those members
of the Forward Association were blis-
tering editorials and incendiary front-
page articles attacking beliefs long held
by the majority of the Jewish establish-
ment on such issues as welfare reform
and school vouchers. The Jewish estab-
lishment came under constant criti-
cism for what Lipsky saw as its liberal
ideology and clandestine operations.
Meanwhile, Arthur Horwitz, the
president of the company that pub-
lishes the Detroit Jewish News and the
Atlanta Jewish Times says the develop-
ments at the Forward will not affect
those papers, in which Steinhardt
recently invested and became chair-
man. "The reasons why Steinhardt is
involved in Detroit and Atlanta stand
on their own merits," said Horwitz.
