It was nice that you went to the neighbors and told them what you were going to do Rabbi Sol, but you shouldn't have to as was the case with this couple.

Dave the Gnome, your two ways view is speculation.

People unfortunately have a problem with Jews. People unfortunately have a problem with Muslims. Before 9/11 it was pretty much just a Jewish thing. You can talk like you know what anti-semitism is, but until you have really been there, and I'm not talking about what goes on in this forum, but "to your face" antisemitism, you better believe it is a good bet that it is practiced by the ignorant who are provoked because we are just there. Since 9/11, Muslims have been a target, also. But don't compare 3 years to 3000 years of it.
