Election coverage, CAMERA, illegals, Goldberg, Spinka, Auschwitz
That old joke has no place in your paper (Cover, Feb. 1). Jews, like everyone else, should be voting for who is best for the country; not who is best for the Jews.
Letters
Without reading a word of the inside article, I write because I am distressed about the depiction on the front page (\”An Ugly Day in the Neighborhood,\” March 3).
Holy Moly! Robertson Apologizes
Last week, The Rev. Pat Robertson apparently decided that he\’d better have the government of Israel on his side, too, especially if he wants to build a sprawling evangelical center on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
Not All Wish Sharon Well
An Israeli commission of inquiry held Sharon, who was Israel\’s defense minister at the time, indirectly responsible for not anticipating the carnage. Sharon was forced to resign, which, at the time, seemed to end his political career.
After the Miscarriage
The pain and anguish of infertility has been passed down from matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel to women today. But while our traditions have given us words to say and ways to act during other lifecycle events — death, birth, marriage — there is little guidance for how to help a friend or loved one deal with the loss of a pregnancy or the pain and despair of infertility.
A New Blend of Chick-Lit Sleuth
Like her protagonist Sophie Katz, Kyra Davis has skin the color of a \”well-brewed latte.\” That\’s why she has spent a large portion of her life fielding comments about her ethnicity.
There was her supervisor at a clothing store, for example, who asked about her Star of David necklace, since how could Davis be Jewish when she looks black? Or all the times people have assumed she\’s Puerto Rican and lecture her on taking pride in one\’s heritage when they discover she can\’t speak Spanish.
\”Occasionally, when people ask me where I\’m from, I\’ll make up some country in Africa and act really offended if they say they never heard of it,\” Davis said.
Mom and Dementia
I reminded Mom of her move to Los Angeles three years ago, and her life at a San Fernando Valley board and care.
She sighed and said, \”Ellie, I\’m losing my marbles.\”
Where You Stand
We are standing before God and God is standing before us — especially during this particular time, when certain fundamental liberties are being denied individuals and when justice is being withheld from specific groups — all in the name of "homeland security."
Anti-Semitism Stirs Aliyah
Whether or not the French ambassador to England called Israel \”that sh*tty little country\” is almost beside the point.
Ambassador Daniel Bernard allegedly made the comment at a dinner party two weeks ago in London.
