I very much approve of the letter to the editor by many rabbis, “An Open Letter to Our Community,” Jan. 4, 2024, to support the economy of Israel.

They wrote, “as families are considering their options for Pesach, we respectfully encourage those who are traveling away from home to seriously consider exploring options to spend their Pesach in Israel.This is an opportunity to show our love for Israel and give another boost to tourism and the general economy which is suffering tremendously because of the war.”

Actually, I am disappointed that most rabbis in New Jersey did not sign the letter!
