Dear Editor:
On behalf of the current and past parents of Bnos Malka, I want to publicly thank Michael Salzbank for his incredible 11 years of dedicated service as Executive Director (and so much more!) of Bnos Malka Academy. There’s no way to put into words how much Mr. Salzbank meant to us and to BMA. But here’s a small glimpse.
One Year
Dear Editor:
One year=12 months=52 weeks=365 days. When we refer to a baby’s first year, we joyously count the months when he/she turns over, crawls, takes the first step, or says, “Mama” or “Dada”. When we count the first year of aveilus, however, we count the first Yom Tov, birthday, Mother’s Day, or Father’s Day that the person isn’t with us.

Dear Editor:
Okay, whose bright idea was it to change all gas pumps to self-serve pumps? Sure, my son-in-law showed an inordinate amount of patience with me when he attempted to teach me how to pump my own gas.

Dear Editor:
As expected, we got a hyperbolic reaction from Moshe Hill to former President Trump’s conviction. But for all the accusations of a politically-motivated prosecution, the response appears to just be political posturing. If not, why does Mr. Hill mischaracterize almost every aspect of the case?
Deadly Power
Dear Editor:
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” One’s sense of morality decreases as power increases. It is not only that power corrupts, but the fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it. This is absolutely the state of President Biden, puppeteer by President Obama, Senator Schumer, and the majority of the Democratic Party. The Democrats are so desperate to retain power that they have abandoned all the beliefs on which this country stands and are willing to destroy our country to stay in control of the government.
