Dear Mr. Lipman,

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!

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