As I pass by so many Jewish homes in Teaneck, I see "Josh Gottheimer" lawn signs and barely any Pallotta signs. Why is this?

While we thank the Teaneck Republican Municipal Committee (TRMC) for reminding everyone that Donald Trump’s flagrant disregard for laws and norms remains an issue to be reckoned with, we must admit that the TRMC’s letter in these pages left us scratching our heads (“Teaneck Republican Committee Letter Regarding FBI

It is with great interest that I have been reading about the Bergen County School-Shul Tech Initiative (“A Sneak Peek of What is to Come: Living Connected: A Bergen County School-Shul Tech Initiative,” Sept. 1, 2022). I applaud all parties involved for stepping up and taking action. There is clearly a need for discussion, at the very

In last week’s issue of The Jewish Link, Martin Polack, wrote a letter discussing why one should not vote for Congressman Josh Gottheimer (“Why Do We Love Congressman Gottheimer?” September 8, 2022).

Go Kosher Panama was an excellent resource for our family, both before and during our recent family trip to Panama. The website is very organized with loads of information and details for the frum traveler, ranging from shuls, kosher food and restaurant listings to discounts on recommended tours.

Last month, the United States of America, the greatest, most charitable, most benevolent and most successful country the world has ever known, took another major step in its sad change in the past 20 months from a historically benevolent country to one of malevolence.

I read Yosef Silfen’s insightful article (“Make Some Room,” September 1, 2022) about the impact of exclusion and how it can affect children’s self-confidence and even their future paths, with all too much familiarity.

You see, I went into Shabbos last week sad. Because my daughter was sad.

Could William Shakespeare have been wrong? In “Romeo and Juliet” he penned these immortal words spoken by Juliet to Romeo:

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet…

The Jewish Link touches all our lives in oh so many ways, which is why the publication is always so interesting and relevant to klal Yisrael.

The article “A Visit to Newport’s Touro Synagogue” (August 11, 2022) peaked my interest. As I’ve always known, the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island
