Letters to the Editor: American Jews, GOP Bibi and Greenberg’s cartoon
Rob Eshman’s article got it right, but perhaps it is a message that should also be sent to our fellow Americans who are not Jewish
Daughter finds the write words from dad
My father rarely wrote anything down. Take birthday cards, for example: While my mother would embellish the printed message with sweet, loving passages and hand-drawn hearts, my father’s heavy script only appeared at the bottom, where he signed his name.
Diary of an IDF Father

Letters to the Editor: Mark Rosenblum, Homeless Sukkah, Vista Del Mar
Rob Eshman’s praise of Mark Rosenblum’s decades-long battle for a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian struggle is well deserved (“The Crusader,” Aug. 23). I’ve worked with Mark for years, share his passion, if not his energy in working for the two-state solution and fearing for Israel in the years ahead if the two-state solution fails. Charting current birth rates, Jews could be a minority in an Israel with a Palestinian majority. And then what happens? Following Mark’s vision, we must keep trying because failure leads to a very bleak, troubled tomorrow.
Letters to the Editor: NSA, Western Wall, Millepied and super grads
Whilst [Marty Kaplan] may be right vis a vis freedom versus security, my main concern is who is minding the minders; absolute power corrupts absolutely (“Dear NSA [NSFW],” June 14).

Letters to the Editor: Berman will be missed, Fight for life, Seeking survivors
Last week’s election was incredibly emotional for me. With the support of my community, a kid from Pacoima won a seat in the United States House of Representatives.
