Silly me. A world without Jews would also be a world with no Jesus, no 10 commandments, no scriptures, no polio vaccine, no societal laws, etc. We have made tremendous contributions to society, wherever we have lived.

But I knew with so many replies it wasn't positive, even before I read the thread. And I know Hofstra.

I must admit, I attended grad school at Hofstra in early 1980's, have a diploma somewhere. MA, with distinction, dropped out of the PhD program ABD, it is a corporate entity more than many schools.

Will send them a letter about this (and they will send me a request for money).

The anti-Semitic handwriting is all over the walls of many places, figuratively and often literally. Just because there are many Jews in the NY area, who enjoy community in large numbers, there are many more non-jews. Some of those embrace their Jewish friends, teachers, community, while others resent and feel hostility and prejudice towards us.
