LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, It was nice to see the picture of my mother, Renee Micklin Greenberg, in the Jewish Press. She was in several shows for kids with other Jewish women in the 1960s. Mom was good friends with Marlene Staenberg, so they must have enjoyed doing the shows together. I do want to clarify one thing. The caption speculates the photo was taken around 1954, but I’m guessing the year was closer to 1964. We lived in the house on Sunset Trail from 1961 to 1970, which is the address listed for my Mom in the Sun’s caption. I live in Denver, but I enjoy keeping up with the news from Omaha.

Schumer recites the Shema

RON KAMPEAS

WASHINGTON | JTA Sen. Chuck Schumer, the most senior Jewish elected official in U.S. history, recited the Shema prayer at the National Prayer Breakfast last week. The New York Democrat added a reading from Leviticus that emphasized unity, echoing the message President Joe Biden emphasized in his remarks at the same event. Biden in his remarks referred to the recent synagogue hostage crisis in Texas as an example of courage in the face of divisiveness. Schumer, the majority leader in the Senate, appeared with Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the body’s minority leader. After thanking Biden and the co-hosts, Sens. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Schumer began: “A reading from Deuteronomy, Dvarim,” Schumer began, reading the first line of the Shema, which mandates that Jews internalize the oneness of God, in Hebrew. Schumer then said he would read from Leviticus 19:8. “Don’t take vengeance on or bear a grudge against any of your people, rather love your neighbor as yourself, I am Adonai,” he said in English.
