The St. Louis Jewish Light encourages readers to submit letters to the editor on local, national or international topics of relevance to the Jewish community.

Preference is given to letters of 250 words or less. Letters may be edited for length, grammar or clarity.

Please include your name, city of residence and a daytime telephone number.

If you are interested in writing a commentary (generally 400-800 words), please contact the Jewish Light editors prior to submitting.

Contact Editor Ellen Futterman at [email protected] or 314-743-3669 or Managing Editor Mike Sherwin at msherwin@thejewishlight or 314-743-3665.
