While working away on our first weekly issue, l’kovod Purim, we were called to account for the too sharp tone and tenor of recent letters to the editor. This reminded us that we can be more respectful of each other, and WE will do better in the future. Our goal going forward is to stick to the issues that our community is confronting and avoid – as best we can – hateful and personal submissions.

In the meantime, Purim is a time of happiness, but if you intend to drink, don’t drive or get a designated driver, and wear earplugs if a bullhornblower is in your kehilla. Otherwise have a freilichen Pesach….oooops. Purim, Hiccup.
