LETTERS: Torah Battle, Mormon Official, Ethics
Jewish Journal
March 18, 2009
Ethics Certificate\n\nI heartily agree with David Suissa and his reservations about the new certificate indicating that Jewish businesses uphold labor laws (“Laboring for Ethics,” March 6).

Specifically, Abramoff allegedly using money from a Washington charity he oversaw to fund military-style programs in the West Bank.
