This is just so profoundly excellent. So powerful it made the roots of my hair tingle. What an honor to publish it. Kol hakavod, Margaritas and Howard!

My convert husband is from Moscow and he remembers this slur well.

Thank you for this moving essay. Antisemitism lurks even in the most advanced countries as we can see. My city, Santa Monica, CA USA, had an antisemitic uprising, There is still bother about being Jewish that affects everything from doing laundry to earning a living. I remember physical fight with other students from elementary school My newest collection of poems, This Sacred Earth, in search of a publisher takes up this issue. Keep on writing. Nancy Shiffrin
