Sir, - Dr. Jo Milgram should be commended for her virtual midrash project. However, she's not up to date when she claims that \"you don't find art studies in religious schools beyond arts and crafts for children\" (\"Visual midrash,\" December 18). Sir, - If you walk into a park in Efrat and yell, \"Noam!\" half of the kids aged six and under will turn to you (\"No, Noa, Noam, names,\" December 11). It's a very popular name, but I think it's unpleasant to give it to a girl. Names reflect a child's soul, and it's important that the initials are suitable, too. Our daughter is named after two great-grandmothers, but we added \"Chana\" because \"M\" and \"R\" in Hebrew spells \"bitter,\" and that is not how we felt when Meira Chana Rivka was born.

Sir, - Was your ripping headline \"Muslims, Arabs among J Street donors\" (August 14) intended to instill hope, excitement and possibilities... or fear and loathing in your readership? Has anybody ever written a headline like \"Evangelical Christians among AIPAC donors\"? Evangelical Christians - some of whom endorse a liturgy where we Jews perish in fire and brimstone merely to enable their \"Second Coming\" - are regular contributors to certain \"pro-Israel\" organizations. They receive thanks, blessings, endorsements, special favors, special access and more. Sir, - While accuracy in reportage is unquestionably essential, Miriam Samersaw's carping about the \"Hallelujah\" misplacement in Judy Montagu's lyrical piece on Leonard Cohen reminded me of the Emerson quote much beloved of Isaac Asimov: \"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds\" (\"Two cheers,\" Letters, August 14).

Sir, - The Secular Yeshiva idea finds support in the Talmud. Commenting on the prophetic passage: \"They left Me and did not observe My Torah,\" the rabbis comment: \"Would that they left Me, but observed My Torah.\" Does \"observe\" mean fulfilling the mitzvot? Perhaps it means studying Torah, either because that will lead back to God, or perhaps stimulate values that God cherishes, even when He is denied as the Author of those values. In Ethics of the Fathers, Rabbi [Meir] says, \"Everyone who is occupied with the Torah for its own sake is called friend, beloved, one who loves the All-Present, a lover of mankind.\" The late Rabbi Shlomo P. Toperoff comments on this: \"Judaism cannot envisage one without the other; they are interdependent. 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself' is immediately followed and qualified by 'I am the Lord' (Lev. 19:18). If love of man is divorced from love of God, or vice versa, we do justice neither to man nor to God.\" Sir, - Naomi Chazan remains fixated on the superiority of talk over action, in spite of Sderot, weapons-smuggling tunnels, etc. Nonetheless, she has finally put paid to the absurd claim that success will come if we \"fight terror as if there is no peace, and pursue peace as if there is no terror.\" For that alone we can say, Kol hakavod! (\"War and peace don't go together,\" May 18.) The next idiocy in line to zap: \"The enemy of my enemy is my friend.\"

Sir, - I have just read about Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah's outrage over being searched at the airport by Israeli security on his recent - abandoned - journey (\"Patriarch cancels trip to Rome after security check,\" January 19). Frankly, I'm outraged at His Beatitude's gall. As an American Jew, I have been subjected to exactly the same sort of search as the Post's news brief described. Security procedures are there for everyone's protection; I wouldn't want to fly on an airplane where VIPs had been airily waved through. Sir, - The Herut Party was deliberately banned, in advance, from Monday night's debate among political parties held at the Renaissance Jerusalem Hotel, co-sponsored and moderated by The Jerusalem Post. I read the early advertisements for the event, to which six parties were invited. Noting that Herut had been omitted I wrote to the Post politely requesting Herut's ideas be heard in such a gathering as I felt the audience of English-speaking citizens would surely have an interest in hearing the party's platform. I believe many others made the same request. Herut itself sought to be a part of the debate; but the Post chose to ignore its requests. To add insult to injury, a seventh party was added to the program just days before, according to one of the later advertisements.

Sir, - In his interview with the London-based Daily Telegraph quoted in \"Olmert: Sharon's plan split Likud\" (March 7), the Industry, Trade and Labor minister said: \"Since I don't believe in the transfer of people...\" and since the Palestinians can't be moved from where they are, \"we [Israelis] have to transfer ourselves.\" From this we can infer that Olmert does not consider Israelis to be people. Sir, - Amotz Asa-El turns quite a venomous pen against the rabbinical group headed by Rabbis Avraham Shapira and Mordechai Eliyahu, who are certainly the leaders with the largest number of \"divisions\" in the country (\"The rabbinical temptation,\" March 5). His statement that the rabbis \"scolded Sharon - the man who built more settlements than all of them put together ever would in their entire lives - for contemplating retreat\" is ridiculous. The contractor from whom I bought my apartment in Har Nof has built more apartments than I ever will in my entire life, yet that doesn't give him the right to remove one person from a single apartment. Sir, - Amotz Asa-El's column is unworthy of him and your newspaper. After devoting half his piece to fanning the flames of the falling out between Rabbis Ovadia Yosef and Aryeh Deri, he proceeds to take cheap shots at the Land of Israel rabbis for daring to express their halachic opinion about what is arguably the single most important decision Israel has faced in its lifetime. In the process, he accuses these 200 men of: lacking recognition/ gratitude for Ariel Sharon's past assistance; neglecting the people; not sending their sons to serve \"a decent military service\" (whatever that means); thirsting for power, and, disrespectfully, basing their judgments on \"holy books\" - all this while militantly representing \"conceit, aloofness, and hypocrisy.\"

Sir, - The French foreign minister asked Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom whether Israel would be prepared to take in a symbolic number of, say, 40,000 Palestinian refugees (\"De Villepin lauds cabinet decision,\" May 26). Will he also ask Yasser Arafat or Mahmoud Abbas whether the road map's Palestinian state would be prepared to allow a symbolic number of, say, 40,000 Jewish settlers to remain within its boundaries? Sir, - In the road map to peace, there must be provision for the Jews of the world to come to the Temple Mount for prayer and reflection, regardless of Islamic aspirations. As the single most important symbol of the Jewish homeland and notwithstanding the minor (by comparison) historical or cultural sites, the Temple Mount stands out as the central place of Jewish pilgrimage and worship. Sir, - Greer Fay Cashman's empathy with those who would change the \"Hatikva\" to accommodate Israel's Arab minority is simply brilliant (Grapevine, May 14). How can the Jewish people expect Arabs to sympathize with the \"hope of 2,000 years?\" We should also have two Remembrance Days for fallen soldiers - one day for Jews, who will mourn soldiers killed by Arabs, and one day for Arabs to mourn their relatives who died fighting the Jews.
