It was with great sadness that I learned about the passing of Rabbi Chaim Wasserman in your newspaper. I had the privilege to meet R’ Wasserman, the rabbi of Young Israel of Passaic, in 1983. What ahavas Yisroel he portrayed! He was a shining example of what a rabbi should be.

In “Chesed at the Airport … and in Our Lives” (June 16, 2022), Michael Feldstein recounts a recent “Mi ki amcha Yisrael” moment involving a man who graciously agreed to check-in someone else’s overweight baggage as his own at Ben Gurion Airport, even though he didn’t personally know the frum young woman whom

I was heartened recently to read of the L’Dor Va-Dor group in Florida using the tenet of religious freedom to challenge the law in Florida, which prohibited abortions (with a few exceptions) after 15 weeks. In terms of legal application, it made sense to me—Jewish law allows and even requires abortion in certain cases
