Defamatory attack misguided

Once again, the Chronicle has provided space for Lee Levin’s defamatory attacks on our community’s leaders (May 24, ‘The state of the Jewish people’). As a longtime member of Congregation Beth Torah and a regular attendee at his Saturday-morning class for over two decades, I can personally attest to Rabbi Mark Levin’s love of Israel. It is true that Rabbi Levin is not an enthusiastic supporter of Israel’s current government, but his criticisms are based on his concern that the country he loves is headed in the wrong direction, not on animosity toward the nation itself.
