09 Aug Your Turn to Speak
CHALUTZIM
Dear Editor:
Kol Hakavod L Chalutzim b Bloomingburg. CHAZAK!!!
M.T.
Editor’s Note: I heard there is a mitzvah or a sheilah of a mitzvah of yeshivas Eretz Yisroel. There is definitely no mitzvah of yeshivas America.
DELICIOUS PIZZA
Dear Editor:
Kudos upon the opening of Brooklyn Brick Oven Pizza in Loch Sheldrake. It is the most incredible pizza we have ever tasted.
The Morgensterns
Editor’s Note: I guess for the nine days you have delicious supper to enjoy!
MISSING MEAT
Dear Editor:
I am starving. I need some meat. Where can I find a siyum? The nine days are so hard for me.
Berel Bodenstein
Editor’s Note: Not eating meat for the nine days should be the hardest thing in your life. The mizbeiach is starving for a lot longer than that.
UP IN SMOKE
Dear Editor:
I find it very difficult to understand why some boys take up smoking. There are some really good, shtarke boys who learn and daven well, but yet they smoke. I find this to be a big chillul Hashem.
Sara Lichtenstein
Editor’s Note: I once had a Rebbe who told me that smoking is “b’tchilaso b’gaava, b’emtza b’taava, b’soifa b’keiver.” It’s a shame that these people want to have their life extinguished like the match they use to light their cigarette.
ELECTION CONCERNS
Dear Editor:
This election has me very worried. Seems like Trump is working very hard to get Hillary elected. Is it possible that the Democrats planted him in the Republican party in order so they can get the White House and be able to wreck our country for four more years?
Yankel Dornstein
Editor’s Note: Sounds like a good script for a movie. I also heard that an alien from Mars is going to run against both of them.
TERRORIST
NEGOTIATIONS
Dear Editor:
What happened to the old adage we don’t negotiate with terrorists? Iran just got a boat load of cash on a plane delivered to them in exchange for what? The worst part about this is when Hilary was asked about it the excuse she gave was “Eh! It is old news.” Why does it make it any better that it is old news?
Donal Ozark
Editor’s Note: Don’t knock this deal. This money is only going to peaceful muslims, as per the words of the president of the U.S.
ACAPELLA OR MUSIC REVISITED
Dear Editor:
To all those people who have been listening to acapella music over the three weeks I pose the following question: Would you like some parve cheese to put on your burger?
Y.N.
Editor’s Note: Is it ma’aras ayin or ma’aras oizen?
GOLFING INSTEAD OF LEADING
I was amazed to read about that President Obama has played his 300th round of Golf as President. Seems like he is working hard. I wonder how much he gets paid for this job. When he is on vacation from playing golf he wrecks our economy with Obama care and makes horrible deals with our biggest enemy Iran. As long as he protects the peace loving Moslems and fights anybody who owns a gun in the USA he will long be remembered as a President who came in to change and sure changed things a lot for the worse. The most ironic thing is that Hillary is also the President for change. Are they still blaming everything on Bush??
Dov Kreitzman
Editor’s Note: That was an excellent analysis of what our president is doing in the oval office. I guess oval to him refers to a golf ball. Do you think Hillary sees a lot of golf in her future too?
DINNER GUESTS
Dear Editor:
My entire colony loved your fun question of the week in last week’s country Vues edition. We were all discussing what 3 dinner guests we would have at our table. We loved Rabbi Feinstein’s, Rabbi Gil Student’s and Abie Rotenberg’s answers. Keep up the good work!

Editor’s Note: What’s your answer? Avrohom’s three anonymous guests?
