Dear Editor,
I would like to take the time to compliment Seth Bartee on his article on Jewish culture in the Thursday, April 8 edition of the East Tennessean.
I feel that Mr. Bartee gave a very neutral and respectful view of the Jewish culture today.
In studying Jewish history, one cannot help but marvel at the Jews’ resiliency.
Their amazing ability to withstand tribulation after tribulation has been proven for thousands of years (i.e. ruled by several nations in Old Testament times, constant internal conflict, the Holocaust, and a complete lack of long-term peace in general).
It is my hope that Mr. Bartee’s view of Jewish culture will be continued by others in the future.
