I would like to congratulate you on your quality improvements. Personally, I enjoy reading about Jewish life in other parts of the U.S.A., worldwide Jewish life and importantly life in Israel.

Kol hakavod to the Cleveland Jewish Publication Company for agreeing to publish the Akron Jewish News. As a native Akronite (and Akronism) now living in Jerusalem, I have relied on the Akron Jewish News website for news from the Akron Jewish community. As a longtime Clevelander and former subscriber to the Cleveland Jewish News, I have appreciated the CJN’s commitment to news of interest to its local Jewish community.

Passover is a very important and special time for the Jewish community on campus. For the students across Northeast Ohio, Hillel at Kent State University and Cleveland Hillel provides kosher for Passover food to hundreds of college students each year. These free meals, from seders, to lunches and dinners throughout the entire eight-day holiday, are essential for students, since no other kosher for Passover food is readily available on campus. The seder provides students with invaluable Jewish memories with friends. Add in the daily gatherings over meals, the holiday provides opportunities for connection unlike any other time for Hillel.

I am not sure where it became implanted in my head, but it had to start with my father. He would say my great-grandfather was in love with the Indians. But, it wasn’t really the Indians. It was Al Rosen. The same Al Rosen who led our professional baseball team in the 1950s. He was Cleveland’s last baseball MVP in 1953. His stats are worthy of the halls of fame his name is in. His injuries kept him short of Cooperstown.

At the outset of this column, I should acknowledge that I love flags. I find their designs, along with their symbolism, interesting. I, like most Americans, have positive, emotional feelings when I see the American flag.

There are many crucial details regarding the May 9 gun attack on the historic El Ghriba Synagogue on the island of Djerba in Tunisia, during which two Jewish worshipers and three security guards were murdered, on which we still await clarification.
