I am so tired of the discussion taking place constantly about the tuition crisis. What is the big deal? There are definitely alternatives and I do not understand why they are not being considered. How many years is everyone paying school taxes to the local school boards? Get on the bandwagon and switch your children immediately. No longer
I am a parent who is proud to be in debt due to the high cost of my children’s education in the Jewish day school movement. There are several issues which I feel need to be discussed and would appreciate if they could be rectified by the local administrators.
First and foremost my children find it
I have had it up to here with all the back-and-forth about vaccines, mask mandates and COVID in The Jewish Link. Can’t I have my Shabbos paper back without any of this annoying chatter? It’s like social media is invading my living room every Friday night.
Enid IttI would like to publicly thank The Jewish Link for keeping the topic of vaccines, mask mandates and COVID on the letters page for the 18th straight week in a row. Since I don’t get a lot of information about these topics anywhere else, I am really grateful for the service you provide. Next, I’d really like to see more on the topics of
I have been religiously reading Shayna B.’s column since she began writing when she was 7 years old. I am her number one fan. Since I am now 17, I have been reading her column for what seems like my whole life.

I am concerned that my young children will not be learning how to pronounce words properly and will look at the world totally in abbreviations.
Our family davens at YINR. My children attend RYNJ. My parents attend CBNJ. A friend’s son is attending TABC and his cousin is at MTA. Another friend davens at
I am hoping that your readership can be of help. I was recently told that the entertainment for my one year old’s birthday party has been canceled just two weeks prior to the party. This is totally going to mess up our caterer’s theme. The people flying in for the simcha are going to be really upset. It is difficult enough that there

I was quite surprised to read Robert
Lichtman’s article supporting “compromise” at the Kotel (“The
Common Sense Case for Implementing the Kotel Compromise,” March 3,
2022.)
First of all, a section at the Kotel has alreadybeen
Over the past few weeks, The Jewish Link has published several articles, ads and letters regarding the ongoing controversy at the Kotel (including “The Common Sense Case for Implementing the Kotel Compromise” and “The Sanctity of the Kotel,” March 3, 2022). I would like to express my thoughts on this
Recently I have found myself working with a few women in the community whose plight I’d like to bring to everyone’s attention.

A week from today, on March 14, 2022, five years will have passed since the day Ahlam Aref Ahmad Al Tamimi—commonly known as Ahlam Tamimi—became a fugitive from U.S. justice. Much of what we have experienced and learned in that time has gotten no media attention.
