Op-Ed: Are Our Noses Too Big?
A Birdseye view of Lefferts Park.
I’m sitting in Lefferts Park. I am horrified by the surroundings.
On one side I see a Jewish mom dressed like she comes from Park Slope, on the other, I see a dad who supposed to be watching his kids but is too engrossed in what looks like a serious phone call, as his children run around the opposite end of the park. Then I see a wonderful looking woman, she appears to be Hispanic, who is pushing a nice Jewish meidele on the swing while feeding her a delicious milchig chocolate bar. As I look over my shoulder I see a Jewish kid playing basketball without a yarmulkah.

A Tribute: Michel Schwartz, 86

His work adorned the walls and tables of Israeli presidents and prime ministers, but for Schwartz, whose biggest projects included illustrating promotional and educational materials on behalf of the educational arm of Chabad-Lubavitch, the greatest honor was to ignite another Jew’s interest in Judaism.
