Reply To: Does Anyone Else Find This Short Story Disturbing?

For the record: The block was full of people who watched him moving in, and in his words “just stare”.

Yes. It’s that “ugly” kipa sruga (sarcasm).

Also, just for the record, this friend who related this story recently did major construction in his home, and moved out for a few months. He rented a home temporarily, and the day he moved in he sent home-baked cookies to the next door neighbor – who happens to be not Jewish.

Her reaction; “55 years I’m on this block, and no one ever said hello to me, and you, a person only here for a few months baked me cookies….”

His kids shoveled her snow all winter as well…

Yes. These stories are disgusting, and we (as a community) have a problem.
