September 1, 2010 To the Editor, Matthew Ostrove’s article on Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff’s comments in favor of building the Mosque on the sacred area close to the 911 atrocity is wisdom personified. It is comforting that even though Matthew ...
August 25, 2010 To the Editor, The rabbi who co-conducted the Clinton-Mezvinsky wedding was Rabbi James Ponet a Reform rabbi with deep connections to some of the most radical elements of the American Jewish community and that fact went completely unreported in both...
August 22,2010 To the Editor, Mr. Morantz’s recent article about the Negev Gala has received a strong response, some positive, and some negative. In a free and open society this is to be expected, and even encouraged, because a reasonable debate and...
August 20, 2010 To the Editor, It seems on surface this controversy is like what Shakespeare would say, Much ado about Nothing. Was it politically motivated, well it would seem that way. However, Mr. Morantz states the Premier mentioned the word Palestine 3...
August 16, 2010 To the Editor, Proving that the pen is mightier than the sword, the Arabs have turned the Middle-East conflict into a war of semantics and narratives. After the defeat of Bar Kokhba (123-135 CE) the Roman emperor, Hadrian, determined to eradicate the...
August 16, 2010 To The Editor, I am responding to the August article that references Premier Greg Selinger’s speech at the Jewish National Fund’s Negev gala. As president of JNF for the Prairie region for the past three years, I’ve had the...
August 14, 2010 To The Editor, Marty Morantz 's piece is pure politics. His pieces are to do his best to convince your reads that he is the guy to vote for. Its an advertisement not an informed piece of News. The Jewish community is not one monolithic...
August 12, 2010 To The Editor, I wanted to inform your readers that Jonah Targownik is also in the Children's Chorus at Rainbow Stage's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Jonah has been singing with the Winnipeg Boys' Choir for the past...

August 5, 2010 To the Editor, Re: Orli Avior, who has witnessed war in Afghanistan first hand, came up to one of them, held out her hand and said to the Israeli soldiers, "Thank you for defending our country." YOU ARE MY HERO Mrs. Avior. Amir Ravon,...
August 4, 2010 Dear Ms. Spivak, It is nice that you met the commandos, and generally, I admire that you will seek various opinions on the Middle East conflict, but it would have been more ethical as a journalist if you had asked the commandos and their commanders why...
July 25, 2010 To the Editor, Great article. It reflects what I've experienced living here in Jerusalem. By the way, almost half the Haredim protesting the father's being put in jail were themselves Sephardim. The secular court embarrassed itself accusing the Hasidim...
To the Editor July 24, 2010 Could you pass on my thanks to Sharon Chisvin for her thoughtful and considered review of my novel, The Knife Sharpener’s Bell? Thanks so much. Rhea Tregebov Assistant Professor Creative Writing Program University of British...
July 20, 2010 To the Editor, RE: LIVNI AND ABU ALLAH TOGETHER This constant referral to "Palestinian" might raise the erroneous impression that at some time in the past the land of Israel contained a "Palestinian" entity. Let me correct this...
July 20, 2010 To the editor, Livni is using diplomatic duplicity. She can say that she wants a two-state solution b/c she knows very well from her prior negotiations that it is impossible to carve out 2 states with borders that will be acceptable to both...
To the Editor, It should be remembered that the so-called "two state solution" was an invention of the Israeli left, not the Arabs. It was proposed in the hope that "if we give them something they will love us." That's the Israeli...

July 14, 2011 To the Editor Lawmakers in France vote Tuesday on a bill to forbid face-covering veils in all public places. Although I do believe that these women are being discriminated against by their religion to treat them in less than an equal fashion than...
July 15, 2010 Dear Editor, I just saw a great fringe play today. It is called Billy Stutter. (My cousin wrote it!) Billy Stutter is your typical mute Irish boxer with a secret, living across the graveyard from the unrequited love of his life. But when a handsome...

To the Editor July 1, 2010 Subject: Re Arabs in East Jerusalem Tell Me They Prefer Israel over the PA I never understand such articles like this. Do all Jews want to live in Israel no many people like where they were born and want to live there ? There are Jews who...
June 30, 2010 To the Editor, We just received the email below from the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra regarding the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra’s humanitarian concert to draw attention to the plight of Sgt. Gilad...
June 29, 2010 To the Editor, UNRWA should be defunded completely by non-arab nations. Why isn't the UN itself budgeting this phony entity? The number of so-called "refugeees" is far exaggerated and it is common knowledge that deaths are not reported so...
To the Editor, South Africa is considering expelling the Israeli Ambassador from its country. It is possible that this could cause a diplomatic avalanche and many third world countries and perhaps others would also then follow suit, leaving Israel quite...

June 18, 2010 To the Editor, I am so glad to learn that someone was responsible for unsubscribing me and that it happened to many people. I thought I had somehow done it myself and was horrified when I received your message that I had unsuccessfully...
June 17, 2010 To the Editor, Hello Rhonda, thanks for including me into your subscribership, I read all of your articles and find them interesting and newsworthy, a very welcome addition to Winnipeg's Jewish development. I wish you continued success in your latest...
June 17, 2010 To the Editor, Recently I got a message saying I was successfully unsubscribed from your list. I was really surprised to get it, because I sent no request asking to do so. Now I can see it's a hacker. OK, hopefully you'll find him. Please keep us, your...
To the Editor, Rebecca Walberg continues to view Israel and the Israeli government through rose coloured glasses. The killing of peace workers aboard the Mavi Marmara has drawn international condemnation against the Israeli government and its continued illegal...
To the Editor, The paper looks great. Thanks for reviewing Jordan's show . . . it sounds like your writer enjoyed it. I'm not sure your reviewer realized that they showed the video that Jordan had created for Kendra's Walk at the end of the evening...

June 5, 2010 To the Editor, I can add another report of swastikas being painted. A few weeks ago I was at the Big Breakfast TV studio at the forks and saw a single large swastika crudely painted on the side of the tall orange chimney that stands just outside...
