Editor’s Note

These are challenging times. To survive the chaos we require the merciful help of Hashem, confidence in ourselves and in our heritage, and a dose of truth.

Torah is true. But what passes for news and commentary in partisan publications and algorithmically-driven social media feeds is not.

Each week, The Jewish Star works to make a positive contribution to necessary conversations in our communities. Not every article will be “on the money,” but our efforts are honest and, to the best of our abilities, Torah true.

We hear regularly from readers in the communities we serve — from the Five Towns to Great Neck, Kew Gardens Hills to Riverdale to Scarsdale. Please let us know what you think.
