I read with horror the front-page article by Andrew Zashin describing his death-defying drive through East Jerusalem. (“Death Defying Drive,”) Oct. 28) I can’t believe that both his hosts and the car owner did not strongly warn him about driving a car with an Israeli license plate through East Jerusalem. Nevertheless, it should not have happened and there is absolutely no excuse for the actions of the Palestinians he upset.
As originally reported in The Hill, Michael Flynn, former national security advisor in the Trump administration, suggested that the United States should have a single religion.
I want to extend a special thanks to Managing Editor Bob Jacob and the Cleveland Jewish News.
The Cleveland Jewish News should be renamed the Beachwood Jewish News and the rest of Cleveland Jewish news. Day after day, we see news of Beachwood that is not necessarily of Jewish context, such as Beachwood politics and Beachwood community events not Jewish in nature.
Letter writer Joel Weiner is puzzled why so many Jews support the Biden administration’s immigration policies (“Must fight against tyranny,” Nov. 12). Although he grossly misrepresents the actions taken by this administration, President Joe Biden has allowed a modest increase in refugees fro…
In the past, whenever I had a dental emergency, my previous dentist never seemed to be able to fit me in or was on vacation. I switched to Dr. Rick Rzepka and he has been phenomenal. He found and corrected major dental issues that my previous dentist missed. But here’s what really impressed me.
The day before the Nov. 2 election, the Cleveland Jewish News posted its article “CH-UH school board candidate awaits Secretary of State’s ruling,“ which said absolutely nothing new. Yes, school board candidate Mordechai Rennert lives in a house in University Heights. Yes, Rennert has an Ohi…
Andy Baskin is a great addition to the Cleveland Jewish News. It is great that you have picked this up from Les Levine. It’s such a shame that Les is no longer with us.
In her recent letter to the Cleveland Jewish News regarding House Bill 248, Dr. Miriam Weiss writes that the bill addresses the issue of privacy and “promotes fundamental medical ethical principles outlined in the Nuremberg Code” (“Civil discourse needed,” Nov. 5).
From day one of the Biden administration, President Joe Biden instantly, intentionally and recklessly nixed any and all of the successful policies that President Donald Trump put in place. Biden’s policy, on the other hand, has been clearly and openly assaulting our Constitution, threatening…
When I spoke to Dr. Noam Stern by telephone Oct. 10, I learned that he has a pediatrician’s concern to protect children against preventable disease, and a pediatrician’s fear that vaccine programs will be undermined by House Bill 248. I share this concern, and so does the bill.
What a nice gesture for the Cleveland Jewish News to highlight newly elected presidents of our local synagogues. (“Area synagogues’ newly elected presidents share goals,” Oct. 22)
I was angered and appalled after viewing the police body cam of the Sukkah “safety stop.” When anyone, including Mayor Martin S. Horwitz says they are not part of a certain community and they find them strange – that is textbook racism.
As a genealogist, I am searching for connections to my family tree as we had family in the 1900s in Cleveland. There was a Joseph Herskovitz, or closely related spelling, and name changed to Hersh. He had a brother, Jacob, my great-grandfather who left Cleveland and lived in Fremont before D…
During my tenure as the Beachwood High School PTO president, I had the privilege of working with Justin Berns, who was president of the elementary PTO at that time. He accepted the role out of extreme need and necessity, as there were so many volunteer responsibilities, activities, programs …
How do you give merit to social media posts which people refuse to own?
I have known Beachwood City Councilman Justin Berns for many years, and know him to be fair, just and thoughtful. I know that he would not harass women, or for that matter, anyone with whom he works or with whom he is in contact. I have observed Berns demonstrate great respect and fairness t…
The Cleveland Jewish News debate between Beachwood Mayor Martin Horwitz and his opponent, councilman Justin Berns, illustrated a significant difference between the candidates.
I am writing in response to your Oct. 4 article titled, “Mandel JCC FilmFest offers in person, drive-in, home options,” by Bob Abelman.
Sarah Silverman has spent years supporting the antisemitic Squad. (“Comedian Sarah Silverman Calls Out ‘Squad’ For trying to Block Iron Dome Funding,” cjn.org)
As 35-year residents of Beachwood, we urge our neighbors in the strongest possible terms to vote for Mayor Martin Horwitz. Our trust in his leadership goes back to his 16 years as a school board member, when our children benefited from his quality initiatives and careful management. As a for…
We are better in University Heights because of Mayor Michael Dylan Brennan’s leadership. The city has grown and thrived, and is fortunate to have in Brennan someone truly responsive to his community’s needs.
We are thrilled to get to support three public education advocates for the Beachwood Board of Education this fall. Wendy Leatherberry, Jillian DeLong and Kim Allamby each have strong backgrounds that will make them uniquely qualified and effective board members.
I support Kahlil Seren for mayor of Cleveland Heights on the merits. He is qualified, intelligent and committed. He’s been endorsed by U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, State Rep. Janine Boyd, the Plain Dealer/Cleveland.com, and multiple unions, groups and Party institutions.
Thank you to the Cleveland Jewish News for holding the Beachwood Mayoral Debate. I had been looking forward to it since I heard about it.
The Beachwood mayoral race is about leadership and high standards. When the top leader displays a loose grip on propriety, everyone takes note and the erosion of standards afflicts the entire community.
As longtime Beachwood residents happily living in this city, we wholeheartedly support re-election of Martin Horwitz as mayor of Beachwood.
I am a pediatric palliative care physician, father of two and resident of Beachwood. I have been concerned to see one candidate for school board is a retired physician who testified in support of House Bill 248. I saw Dr. Miriam Weiss’ letter (“Candidate wants open dialogue,” Oct. 8) asking …
As a college student who cares deeply about women’s rights and racial justice, I am excited to be voting for Martin Horwitz for Beachwood mayor. Let me explain why.
As longtime Beachwood residents who have known Mayor Martin Horwitz for years, we are thrilled with the changes we have seen under his leadership. In four short years, he has launched a slew of new projects that are improving our community.
