"To the Editor:
I am a Jewish dentist who has practiced and lived in Pine Bush, N.Y., since 1988. My wife and I raised two daughters who went through the Pine Bush schools. I have many patients who are teachers and students in Pine Bush. I have friends who are teachers and students here. My wife was a teacher here.
My family has never experienced any anti-Semitism in our 25 years in the community, nor do we know of any other Jewish families who have experienced this. We are at home in this town.
With 14 employees, my partner and I have a busy dental practice that is truly a hub of this town. I had a high school junior in my office, and I asked her opinion about your article. She said it was discussed during her English class. Not one student had experienced or witnessed any anti-Semitic events during his years at school. No swastikas on walls, no mention of Ku Klux Klan activity.
I am very saddened that this negative attention is being brought to our beautiful, peaceful hamlet, which is filled with good-hearted, hard-working people.
