Letters to the Editor

Rob Eshman, what’s wrong with Glenn Beck loving Israel and hating specific Jews (“Beyond Glenn Beck,” Nov. 19)?

I cannot overstate the importance of the cover article “The Ugly Secret” in this week’s Jewish Journal (Nov. 19). There is no doubt in my mind that, based on my personal and professional experience with victims of domestic violence, the articles and stories you shared with your readers will literally save women’s lives. Thank yo

I recently discovered The Jewish Journal after relocating to Los Angeles from Maui. Fifteen years is a long time to be gone. I’ve been impressed with the excellent journalism. I must say though, Rabbi Feldman’s letter on Proposition 19 is outdated thinking at best (Letters, Nov. 12). I think all drugs should be legal. Only then will the drug cartels lose their absolute power over the governments of the world and the enslavement of people worldwide.

I’m a student at American Jewish University, and I thought The Jewish Journal would be interested in how much attention this week’s edition has received from this school’s undergraduates (“Why Jews Do Care About Prop. 19,” Oct. 29)! The paper is delivered here weekly, but many students just discovered it now. This week’s cover, a Magen David made of marijuana leaves, is now posted in many dorm rooms (and maybe they even read the related article?). Kudos to the mastermind behind it — it’s truly an attention-grabber.\n

Dennis Prager’s Oct. 22 column, “Are People Basically Good?” provoked many critical letters. Some are below. Prager’s response is here.

In David Mamet’s article “How Not to Be a Stranger in a Strange Land” (Oct. 8), he wrote: “My favorite poet was a Jewish man from Krakow, Rudolph Klepsteen. He wrote under the name of Rudyard Kipling.”

I so appreciate David Suissa’s article “Love Without Borders” (Oct. 15). As a Christian, and a supporter of Israel, my love for Israel and the Jewish people is not contingent upon whether or not we agree on all political, social or even biblical issues, for I believe that what we have in common is far greater than our differences. After all, where would we be without the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
