LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, A new film starring Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell called The Shrink Next Door is a true story about a Jewish psychiatrist who takes over the life of one of his Jewish patients. The doctor is Dr. Isaac "Ike" Herschkopf. In the early 70s he was a camp counselor at Camp Moshava and also at Esther K. Newman. These were Orthodox Jewish camps that teenagers from Beth Israel in Omaha and other Orthodox synagogues around the Midwest attended. I became very good friends with Ike at camp and generally found him to be very engaging, funny, and interesting. Though we were close at the camp, we haven't had any connection since. Now that he is the subject of an unflattering portrayal of him, I'm curious if there are other SYO'rs (Synagogue Youth Organization) who might want to share any recollections they have of Ike from bygone camp days. I bet many will recall his tremendous basketball skills and interesting psychological discussions.

White House Hanukkah party

RON KAMPEAS

WASHINGTON | JTA The Biden White House was planning an in-person Hanukkah party for this week. The Hanukkah party has been a White House tradition since 2001. But the Trump administration’s decision to hold one in person last year, as the coronavirus pandemic raged, turned the normally bipartisan meet-and-mingle into a politically polarized event. This year, the pandemic is ongoing, and there were concerns about in-person Hanukkah and Christmas events as a result, insiders told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. But the event was set to take place with a menorah lighting at the White House on Dec. 1, with invitations going out Wednesday, just one week before the party. Organizing a party this close to the date of a holiday — Hanukkah started Sunday night — is unusual for a White House. President Joe Biden has been attending more in-person events recently that involve mixing with people. Last week he and his wife, Jill Biden, also attended a Thanksgiving get-together with military families in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
