Hi, Jack —
I really enjoy your commentaries. I think the “Observer” is going to generate a following far beyond Tallahassee. One thing though; I think you should dig a bit deeper into the origins of the NRA; it might surprise you. Thanks.

I enjoy “lunch and learn” on Wednesdays. Very insightful, and I would like to receive further blogs on The Jewish Observer. Thank you.
Jack, I am so glad Barry forwarded this. I am enjoying reading your work. Love to your family however large they may be by now.
Love, Jayne Frank
Am so grateful for discovering this. Love the Observer and really enjoy reading your opinion. Sheila Zapp
Dear RAbbi
It was a pleasure to meet you and your temple israel family. The next time I visit we can continue our conversation about the revelation of moses versus the rationality of maimonides. You didnt mention the theology of Halevi which seems to be more in line with the twentieth century theology of Buber and Rosenzweig
Hope to see you again

Dear Rabbi,
I just read “The Basket of Deplorables.” Thank you for expressing so much so well. I agree with your positions including that regarding the political naiveté of many of my fellow liberals.
The growth of evil in this country recently is horrifying to me. I am an occasional contributor to ADL and a frequent communicator with my Representative’s and Senators’ offices but often feel that I could be (should be?) doing more.
Any suggestions?

Thank you Rabbi, great job. I want to send your blog to my friends all across the US.
