Op-Ed: Crown Heights Needs an Old-Age Home

by Anonymous

The Crown Heights Community can be justifiably proud in the wonderful work of Hafatzus Hamayinus that they do worldwide. A prime example is your recent article of photographer Meir Alfasi, who traveled to the mountains of Bolivia, where he brought Judaism to fellow Yidden some of the most remote places on earth. However, with the many elderly and vulnerable residents that we now have in Crown Heights, one does not have to go to the remotest places on earth to help another Jew.

Op-Ed: Our Schools Must Teach Derech Eretz

by Anonymous

Recently I took a trip with my nieces and nephews to visit my parents, their grandparents. The kids are two, four, and six years old, which means their enrollment in the Crown Heights school systems has varied from one year to three years, to none. They are sweet children, reminding me of all that is pure and good, and of complete naivety. On this trip, they also reminded me of something else.
