The Staenberg Family Complex is beautiful state-of-the art facility. Period.In my opinion however, its membership dues are way too high for the average individual and family. I am not by any means saying it is not worth it, I am stating that there are...

It is with cynical resignation that I occasionally pick up the Jewish Light, hoping that this time will be different; that perhaps this time I won't be denigrated along with all other Republican Jews, politically conservative Jews or (heaven forfend)...

I read Larry Levin's Nov. 24 article ("No cure for what Ailes us") regarding the usage of the Nazi comparison used on the Fox News Network. While I sincerely agree with your disgust at the usage of the comparison, I do so in any situation because I also...

In the Nov. 10 edition of the Light there is an ad for Jewish Prison Outreach. Readers may be interested in hearing about the founding of this group. JPO came about because Margie Kessler, a member of B'nai Amoona's Social Action Committee (SAC), read...

We probably all know someone who has faced unexpected challenges due to the economic downturn. Unfortunately, Missouri's NAP tax credit program is another of the latest casualties of the erratic economy. The program provides critical assistance to the...
