Editor’s note: This responds to contributing editor Nina Glick, who sent a copy of the paper to the parents of a lone soldier she met in Israel and photographed.

Thank you so much for sending us a copy of The Jewish Link that had a picture of our son Eitan Drapkin in it (“Lone Soldiers Enjoy Muffin Boutique,” April 4, 2019). He was pictured with his friend, another lone soldier, Jordan Panitch. It was truly such a nice surprise to receive that package in the mail!

A friend of mine who lives in Bergenfield had seen the picture in the paper and told me about it, but we really enjoyed seeing it in print. It was really so kind and thoughtful of you to send us the whole paper! I also really enjoyed looking through the whole newspaper to see what’s going on in Bergen County.

We really appreciate you finding Eitan and Jordan in Israel, talking to them, including them in your paper, and knowing how much we’d enjoy seeing it.

Continued luck and much success in your work.
