    Terrible title

    The title is terrible and potentially feeds into the blood libel for anyone looking for an excuse!

    Dear Rabbi Jacobson,
     
    Your videos each day of Chanukah were just wonderful !
    I repeated to family and friends in your name, almost each and every one.
     
    Going forward ...  Among all the worthy writings and speaking that you do, should you have the time, perhaps 
    issue a weekly short video with similar such stories and divrei chizuk tied to the parshas hashavu'a ?
    I would be glad to sponsor the first one !
     
    With all good wishes to you and your family on this, the final day of Chanukah.

    Title of the article

    Kindly fix the title of this article . We Jews do not eat antisemites for the holiday . We eat special foods that commemorate our survival despite our enemies. It is the old saw: "They tried to kill us, they lost, let's eat."

      Relax. This is not Comp 101. I'm more concerned that many of us would never get that traning. Many Yidden would just write letters of concern, wring our hands and gulp Kaopectate. Me, I would Lock and Load.

        This article is being shared across the internet on social media. The title has already drawn comparisons to the Passover matzoh blood libel. This title is ill-advised and needs correcting.

    Good relation of the 3 foods, matza, hamantashan and latkes with the phenomenon of antisemitism.
