Where's The Alternative
To Iran Nuclear Pact?
Opponents of the Iran deal have accused
President Obama of being anti-Israel.
Does that mean all the Israelis who
disagree with the prime minister are
anti-Israel?
As I was taught — a good friend tells
their friend what they need to hear, not
what they want to hear.
No one trusts Iran. But I have yet to
hear a practical alternative (other than
Moshiach coming).

Reuther Library of Labor and Urban
Affairs at Wayne State University ("A
Century of History," July 30, page 1).
The Detroit Jewish community should
be proud that all the institutions involved
value preserving and making available
these resources. It is a unique treasure,
unmatched by other Jewish communities
in the U.S.
I would like to add one clarification
to the article. Erik Nordberg's title is
director of the Reuther Library. Since
taking the helm at the Reuther last year,
Nordberg has committed to augment-
ing the Reuther's collections of Jewish-
related materials and to building the
relationship of the Reuther Library with
the Detroit Jewish community.
