When this website was established, its purpose was to allow access to my articles in the Jewish Week and other publications. At the time, comments were not posted. After I began contributing to the website referred to as Cross Currents, I decided to allow comments on this site as well. With all that is on my plate, mainly communal responsibilities, I cannot keep up with the comments that are being posted. I have withdrawn from Cross Currents and I have decided to return to the original purpose of this website, which is to permit ready access to my writings. There will be no further posting of comments.
Anyone desiring to comment directly to me can do so via email to mchick@mindspring.com. I will endeavor to respond to signed communications.
