The undergraduate student government at Case Western Reserve University has now passed a truly malevolent, ignorant, totally detached from reality, anti-Israel resolution. Cited among “various illegal actions committed by the Israeli state,” were “apartheid,” a blockade intended to harm Gaza…

I am perplexed by the inclusion of two particular weekly columnists who appear in the Cleveland Jewish News. First, I don’t understand the benefit of running Ben Cohen’s column. He seems to be solely obsessed with antisemitism, an important topic already deftly covered in your news articles …

To follow what is happening at Case Western Reserve University, whose student senate recently passed a boycott, divestment and sanctions resolution, you have to first understand the working definition of antisemitism. The United States defines BDS as antisemitic as well as 35 other countries…

Pharmacist Julian Cohen passed away last week. He was a mensch. In the late 1970’s, his Leader Drug store at East 9th Street and Rockwell Avenue was literally one of the few retail stores in Cuyahoga County open 24 hours a day.

I am a Jew who feels every bit as strong and passionate about my religion as it relates to my culture and heritage.

This is in regard to Alan Federman’s letter to the editor (“Tobin’s column not acceptable," Nov. 4).

Oct. 27 marked the four-year anniversary of the massacre at the Tree of Life Congregation in Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh. It is the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history.

Much has been written over the past few years about the harmful impact that hate speech and disinformation is having on the American public, an issue that has been brought sharply into focus by former President Donald Trump’s “big lie” and the antisemitic posts of Kanye West. It is also why …

I lost a couple old friends yesterday. I’ve know them for over 20 years – and enjoyed them for as long.

CJN Staff Reporter Becky Raspe did an excellent job presenting remembrances of community leader Marcia Ungar in a recent issue of the Cleveland Jewish News. (“Mar-Lou Shoes namesake recalled as kind, full of life,” Sept. 30)

The Clean Speech Cleveland Workbook received from Rabbi Chaim Feld is superlative. However, the people who should read this probably will not: Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, extreme demagogues, white supremacists, racists and other hate groups.

Let’s not start the year with a sin of omission.

Believing the Henfields are not proposing a mini-synagogue for public use is like believing a former President Donald Trump-appointed Supreme Court nominee would not overturn Roe v. Wade. (“Will it be a house or a synagogue,” Oct. 14)

Congressional candidate Max Miller, stated, “Trump did more for the state of Israel than any other United States president in our history.” This is categorically false, and I expect better from a history major.

A sad day when the Cleveland Jewish News publishes a feature article about Max Miller’s candidacy. (“Miller wants return to Trump policies ‘great for every American.” Oct. 7)

Merle Glick’s letter to the editor resonates with me because I also served in Germany during World War II. (“Jews’ loyalty questioned, Sept. 30”) But one experience was unique.

Racist, antisemitic remarks – the mantra of liberal democratic rhetoric.

Not this time. Usually, midterm elections are a yawn. This time, it is a dire contest between saving and risking rights.

One of the main qualities voters should value in a candidate is integrity. This is a problem for JD Vance because he has been both against and for former President Donald Trump. During Trump’s campaign in 2016, Vance called him “reprehensible” and said America deserved better. However, when …

The Maltz Museum has taken on a new mission, in its words, to “Stop the Hate.” I hope they will not leave behind the heritage piece. Browsing through the new program guide, there are few if any programs focused on Jewish heritage other than the Holocaust, 1960s civil rights activism and vict…

The best way to understand a candidate’s positions and demeanor is to witness that person in a forum or debate.

The letter to the editor, “Leave Beachwood schools alone,” offered insight into what makes Beachwood schools special – its students, staff and families. However, I have to respectfully disagree with the author’s conclusion. To “preserve the intimacy and accessibility” the author prizes, Beac…

Why are some Jews supporting groups that attack Jews? White supremacy, proud boys and many MAGA people are part of this GOP with former President Donald Trump’s blessing. Do you not become complicit at the next violence?

Coincidences have ruled my life. The passing of a lovely Gloria Greenwald is added to that list.

I work in a new, beautiful elementary school with bells and whistles – new furniture, air conditioning, “Lite-Brite” and Lego walls, and an indoor slide. Yet, I miss the neighborhood school intimacy. Formerly, teachers were able to access support personnel more readily and see colleagues aro…

I subbed at Shaker Heights High School for several years. David Berger was well remembered there a few years ago and a mural was painted in his dedication with a small description about his life.

A news article Sept. 2 stated that in a scene in Ken Burns’ upcoming film, Otto Frank, the father of Anne Frank, “tries to secure passage to America for his family but gets stymied by the country’s fierce anti-immigration legislation.” ("Ken Burns’ PBS documentary ‘The U.S. And The Holocaust…

Now the Maltz Museum is going to drop the Jewish reference to its title? Just another surrender to the trendy woke/”inclusivity” culture that seems to have taken over about every museum administration in the region.

Dear Beachwood police, Beachwood City Schools, Beachwood community, Cleveland Jewish community, Milestones Autism Resources, Gavi’s psychologist, our family, and friends in Cleveland and all over the world:

No matter personal politics, let’s recall stark lessons of history, especially Jewish history when extremism and lawlessness won.
