Hello: I think citing an article that clearly is highly political in nature on the library listserv is inappropriate. I read the article by Jungreiss and as a congregant of a synagogue in Queens, NY, led by a female rabbi who was detained by the police at the wall as she tried to pray recently, I think the article simply reflects one woman’s viewpoint (a very medieval one) and is not of value to librarians. How we practice our faith is a personal decision. I think articles like these need to be screened more carefully before they are put on the listserv. I was personally very offended.
I expect more from the listserv than to relay politically motivated articles. Arlene -- *Arlene Ratzabi* [email protected]
