As a secular Jewish-American residing in Bergen County whose children attended Jewish day school and has family and friends in the Orthodox Jewish community, I take time to read your newspaper. I note the stark contrast between two rabbis who appeared in your January 3 edition. Plaudits to Rabbi Simon for his selfless and altruistic deed of donating his liver to a secular Jewish recipient. Contrast that with the rantings of letter writer Rabbi Mark who in his willfully blind defense of the president manages to demean, offend and demonize secular Jewish-Americans.
