Letters to the editor December 12

Free speech

War,

intermarriage,

apathy,

hate;

today’s plagues.

These words were posted anonymously as part of an art exhibit on a wall of the Jewish Community Center, home to Jews of every stripe.  Imagine being a committed Jew who is part of an

interfaith Jewish family reading this on a wall of the JCC.  Imagine being a teenager, the child of an interfaith marriage, coming from Community Day for an after-school activity.

Because I am a staunch supporter of every American’s First Amendment rights, and since the exhibit has left the JCC, I submit my response to The

Jewish Chronicle, proudly attaching my name.

War,

intolerance,

apathy,

hatred:  

today’s plagues.

Mimi Botkin

Squirrel Hill

(Editor’s note: The letter is referencing part of the Six Word art exhibit that was at the Robinson Wing of the JCC.)
