Yeshivah Week

Dear Editor: 

It’s “Yeshivah Week,” the annual vacation that involves going to Aruba, Panama, or Florida (so yesteryear). Half of the places people go to I couldn’t even locate on a map. Yet, here I am, your trusty letter writer, composing this letter from sunny Arctic, New York. Not that I’m jealous (a terrible midah). At least in the comfort of my house, I can check my pipes every five minutes.

Fetterman’s Recovery

Dear Editor:

In 2022, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman suffered a severe stroke while campaigning for his seat in the Senate. He was rushed back to the campaign trail long before he was physically ready. His brain was severely injured, which prevented him from speaking clearly, presenting cogent ideas or even finishing many of his sentences. At the time, his political positions were left of communist Senator Bernie Sanders, and included some truly insane ideas such as freeing all second-degree murderers from Pennsylvania prisons.

Dear Editor:

 I disagree with Moshe Hill on many things, but I think he’s smart and a mentch. Last week, I agreed with him. Except for one thing.

Dear Editor:

 I know that I am far from alone as I feel a sense of dread as I read letters from various writers who share their experiences with anti-Semitism at Queens College. The irony of the juxtaposition of two recent Letters to the Editor is duly noted and pathetic.

A Suggestion for Pro-Palestinians

Dear Editor:

Pro-Palestinians, please boycott products invented or created by Jews. Here are just a few ideas for you. Adamantly refuse to use Google and Facebook, both started by Jews. Refuse to use a ballpoint pen, word processor, or computer – invented by Jews. Boycott Oracle and Dell – started by Jews – and turn off your firewall. Throw away your mobile phone, your instant camera, and your camera phone. You get it; they were invented by Jews.

Regarding Rising Anti-Semitism at Queens College

Dear Editor:

 I don’t want to write this letter, but I have to. Anti-Semitism on college campuses continues to rise. Anti-Semitism on my college campus continues to rise. I wish I could just focus on studying for my finals, but that is not to be.
