There is an important School Board election taking place in Teaneck and it is important that we elect trustees that will help keep our children and schools moving forward in a positive, productive direction. That is why I voted by mail for Damen Cooper, Harold Clark and Danielle Gee. Cooper is a graduate of the Teaneck

After reading a letter cosigned by eight individuals rattling off the sins of Josh Gottheimer, and another more troubling one from a group of Gottheimer’s supporters too afraid to identify themselves for fear of being attacked in shul, I did some research. Here’s what I learned.

Last year the yeshivas all celebrated a week-long teacher appreciation week. And at the end of this year we again thanked our teachers for managing to provide instruction online due schools closing due to COVID-19. While that was certainly the right thing to do, I think there was an underappreciated segment of our

Many have asked me who I am endorsing for this year’s Teaneck Board of Education elections.

I have approached the six candidates with a list of questions about what is going on in the Teaneck BOE. Sadly, two candidates (Clara Mitchell Williams and Yusra Subhani) did not reply to my various forms of

While we await the arrival of our mail-in ballots this week, we urge everyone to focus on the local election happening in Teaneck that will be included at the bottom of our ballots.

Freedom of speech is one of the most important inalienable rights in this great country of ours and everyone deserves the right to be heard.

In your September 24, 2020 edition, The Jewish Link printed two letters lauding Josh Gottheimer (“Thank You, Cong. Josh Gottheimer, For All You Do for Teaneck” and “Re-Elect Josh Gottheimer”). I wish to give a peek at the other side.

In the recent issue of your newspaper you posted several letters to the editor all signed “names withheld upon request.” (“What Are You Doing to Protect Others?”; “Protecting Ourselves Should Not Mean Embarrassing Others,” September 24, 2020). There are a few things that I think we can all agree on. It has been difficult for

In reading “In Support of Josh Gottheimer” (September 17, 2020) signed by several writers, we were struck by the omissions and marked bias. At a time that the anti-Israel Left has taken over the Democratic Party, of what importance is it to state that Gottheimer is the “most pro-Israel Democrat in the lower

Chava Casper (“Do Not Ignore Trump’s Misdeeds,” September 24, 2020) fails to acknowledge that unlike the fringe anti-Semitism from the far right, within the Democratic Party anti-Semistim is mainstream. You won’t find the likes of Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the Republican ticket. Of

I urge all New Jersey residents to contact their state senators to support New Jersey Senate Bill S-2535, which would decriminalize recreational marijuana use.
