A Kinder, Gentler Era?

To the Editor:

I just read your initial 1998-1999 publication released during the first week of school, and I congratulate you on your fine product which is upbeat and positive in almost all respects.

Only too often in the past, The Commentator served as springboard for gripes, complaints, and articles which on occasion caused me to cringe. I hope this year's first edition will set the tone for a kinder, gentler publication.

While one is certainly entitled to voice contrary opinions, one must act in a responsible fashion and never lose sight of the fact that your words and their impact extend near and far. Given the tone of this latest edition, I am certain that you will bring credit to yourselves as well as the Yeshiva.
