Anti-Semitism
I鈥檓 pleased to see an increasing number of articles in the Monitor that address anti-Semitism.聽[Editor鈥檚 note: See 鈥Anti-Semitism surges 鈥 right and left 鈥 across political spectrum鈥 in the Jan. 20 Monitor Weekly and 鈥Anti-Semitism in the schoolyard: A new front in Germany鈥檚 struggle鈥 in the Jan. 27 Monitor Weekly.]
However, the disappointing aspect of these articles is that most of the reporting focuses on anti-Semitic events with very superficial coverage of where anti-Semitism is coming from.聽I鈥檇 like to see some in-depth reporting on that topic.

Community relations
I loved the Home Forum essay 鈥Keeping the peace in my neighborhood鈥 by Robert Klose in the Dec. 30, 2019 & Jan. 6, 2020 Monitor Weekly. I can relate to both men in the story.聽Sometimes we feel slighted and act out, and sometimes we have patience with ourselves and others. It makes me want to do more and volunteer more. Thanks for the article.

Essays by Robert Klose
I think I鈥檝e read every essay by Mr. Klose that you鈥檝e printed 鈥 and loved every single one.聽But the latest one titled 鈥Keeping the peace in my neighborhood鈥 produced a lump in my throat.聽I feel as if I know him at this point and now I like him even more. Thanks to him for his heartfelt writing.
