Dear Mr. Lipman,

Life in the suburbs of America is so easy that it permits you to be that naive. Although its obvious that you need to understand the real world a little better, thank HaShem for living in the one easy place in Galut.

What inspired this post? Simple, I was going through the Rabam's notes on one of Rabbi Schmeckelstein's drashas.

The two definitions complimented each other nicely.

And reminded me of the time the Cossacks borrowed the station-wagon for a treifish snack run to Bayonne. They wrecked it. And the quickie mart they crashed into. Cossacks!

It's a lovely letter. Can't read the original, but the translation is lyrical.

note the use of the term catamite, which I believe I'd seen on this blog as well!

R, how could anyone have taken that literally?

(Nevertheless, I agree that people in these suburbs might not get the idea of actual anti-Semitism.)
