Let’s Call a Spade a Spade

Dear Editor:

Ive read with great interest the various op-eds in response to Meira Atik’s initial article concerning the practice of some Jewish newspapers to actively refrain from publishing pictures of women. I’m grateful that the Queens Jewish Link doesn’t subscribe to this misguided practice, and I applaud Ms. Atik and her supporters for speaking out on this important issue.

Don’t Blame The Voters

Dear Editor:

In Sergey Kadinsky’s 6/27/19 article entitled “Cabán Declares Victory In Queens DA Primary,” he laments the “poor [voter] turnout; after all the hard election work by rabbis, community leaders, activists, local elected officials and this columnist.” Mr. Kadinsky continues to question: “Why was it so difficult for some people to come out and vote?”

Sometimes people need to be reminded of how to date, and when I say “How To…” I mean getting back to basics. I’m not talking about how to be suave or to “play the game.” I’m not into that. With all the crazy dating stories I’ve heard from people, read about, been asked about… my mouth just hangs open in disgust and/or amazement depending on what I’m told. I’m left speechless. In honor of all of those, I’m getting us all back to the simple basics of dating. Start with these five common-sense tips and hopefully there will be many dates in your future.
