Re: Mike Fink (June 19)
I object strenuously to the article by Mike Fink titled “A story of a creative legacy.” The article was written hastily and thoughtlessly. It contained numerous factual errors: one egregious example is in the opening sentence. Mr. Fink describes my birth in the Negev when Palestine was still part of the Ottoman Empire.
That would have made me at least 101 years old. He was clearly conflating my birth with that of my mother. Mr. Fink took no notes of our conversation and confused all the personalities whom we discussed. He also included personal family matters that had no relevance to the subject of the article.
This kind of writing is not worthy of publication in The Jewish Voice or any other reputable news media.
