Sorry it took me so long to respond, but please know that I surely appreciate your kind words. My very best to you and your family... Dear Elaine- thank you so much for your comment, and kind words. As for the Orthodox demonstrators protesting against Israel, I would caution you to remember that they are not in any way representative of Orthodoxy, but rather of their small, ultra-Orthodox right wing branch, and most Orthodox Jews find their policies repugnant. As do I! Again, thank you for writing- Gerry Skolnik Dear Miriam- so nice to hear your voice! Sorry it took me so long to respond, but please know that I surely appreciate your kind words.

However, It was very disheartening for me to view the the clip about the protests in London wherein Jewish people (with kippa, beards black coats, etc. )of the Orthodo persuasion protesting against the Jews in Isreal along with the Arabs and claiming that there was no Israel that it is Palestine and that we have no right to be there. They were wearing the same checkered scarfs around their necks that are worn by the Palestinians. Once again Jewish lives will be lost in this terrrible battle. Don't we have enough people to contend with that are against us without the Orthodox? How dare they? I couldn’t have said it the above better.myself.
