with his hateful speech and

In May of this year, the
Philadelphia branch of the
Muslim American Society
(MAS) had an event where
young children from a MAS
school sang and read poetry
about killing Jews.
Then, there is the BDS
movement on college
campuses, which speaks to
anti-Zionism, which, in reality,
is anti-Semitism as its goal
is the destruction of Israel.
Recently, Oberlin College
students erected a memorial
to Palestinian Islamic Jihad
terrorists.
Clearly, we have a bigger
problem than just white
supremacists. However,
even in recent testimony to
Congress, ADL
’
s focus was on
only white supremacists. Why
the silence on the breadth of
the problem?

With respect to the recent
article “
A Place to Gather”
(Nov. 28, 2019), how nice it
was to read that both Clover
Hill Park Cemetery and
Congregation Shaarey Zedek
saw fit to develop the Berman
Shiva Center. I am sure that
there is a need for the center
since many family members
come from out of town.
According to Rabbi Aaron
Starr of Congregation Shaarey
Zedek, “The cemetery
seeks to fulfill the values of
kavod hamet (honoring the
deceased) and nichum aveilim
(comforting mourners)
within the bounds of Jewish
law.
” However, the grounds
of the cemetery leave much
to be desired. Many of the
gravestones have rust water
stains on them and are not
properly maintained.
While my family pays to
have our family gravestones
cleaned, many are not taken
care of because there is no one
to advocate for their deceased
love ones. The cemetery board
bears the responsibility to
maintain the cemetery with
dignity. I do not find visiting
the cemetery comforting in its
present condition.
