Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on January 30, 2022

1 Our Jewish friends My husband and I are longtime members of the United Methodist Church. Whenever we moved and that was often we always joined a church to make friends there. We have recently moved to a lovely retirement community here in Dallas. Its Jewish. We knew that before moving, but what we didnt know was what friendly and loving people are here.

Every night we are able to have dinner with different residents. We have met two Kinder train survivors, children who were secreted out to London, where they learned English and made it to America. Another residents family lived in Holland and was rescued by Americans.

Recently we witnessed such hate in Colleyville. But then we witnessed love from everywhere. Im especially proud of the Methodist church there for hosting a meeting for the community.

Ill leave this message for all: Find a new Jewish friend!

2 Positive suggestions Re: 22 uplifting habits for the new year Finding ways to connect can help us through troubled times, by Leslie Barker, Jan. 2 news column.

I absolutely loved Barkers 22 habits column. Rarely do I print and save anything beyond recipes or book recommendations from the newspaper, but this was in instant keeper.

My husband and I are incorporating a modified version into our lives changing the habits we already have (making the bed) to something new (morning stretching). I will add a few of these each week to a chalk board in the breakfast nook. Im confident our 2022 will be enhanced by Barkers writing. We wanted to say thanks for the positive suggestions.

3 Jeff Cason Re: One no vote cost rookie legislator seat, by Dave Lieber, Jan. 16 Metro column.

A big thumbs-up to Jeff Cason for telling his story of being a first-termer in Austin and a big thumbs-up for Dave Lieber in writing his story in this column. My hope is that Cason will volunteer and be accepted to lecture in local high school civics classes. Lets teach our kids how government really works vs. the story/textbook versions.

Hey Dave, do you think you can find anybody in Washington to tell us how the cows eat the cabbage in Washington, D.C.?
