I found your September 3, 2020 Health Link article, “Take Care of Your Vision & Reduce Falls,” interesting and informative, but would like to offer some important insight on some missing information. While the literature supports the assertion that the incidence of falling down among older adults is higher among those wearing

I write to thank you for printing the news story about my retirement from Bruriah High School for Girls and from a 60-year career in teaching ("Celebrating My Dad's Retirement from Bruriah High School and Teaching," Aug. 27, 2020).

Unfortunately, it was quickly followed by the disastrous coronavirus outbreak, lockdowns, and interruptions in study, but then a

My name is Mordechai Weiss, a third-generation alumnus from YU, and I aspire to be the youngest vice president in Yeshiva University’s history.

I wish to comment on Jonathan Tobin’s article, “Harris Is a Centrist Choice for Biden” (August 12, 2020). The title is misleading and deceptive. One would think that Kamala Harris is a centrist, moderate Democrat, worthy of considering on becoming our next president if Joe Biden does not complete four years in office. Therefore, we

As our community prepares for the reopening of our Yeshivot, the joint rabbinic and educational leadership of our shuls and schools, in conjunction with the medical professionals who have provided us expert guidance throughout this process, wish to communicate the following unified message.
