Kudos to the police for their fast and fine work in arresting the men who made their hatred public by painting swastikas and obscenities in our neighborhoods. May their hearts undergo swift and radical change.

As a community leader entrusted with the religious education of young people, I will redouble my efforts to point out the evil inherent in such behavior. I will do my part to teach our children well.
