due to sensitive nature of topics in the story and unintended messages to readers of different ages and backgrounds the editors chose not to print the full version in this venue - paraphrased

As soon as I started reading I realized this was not the writer's style of ending things up so neatly. The only thing not smoothed over was Leba's getting published.

reason it ended:

due to the the sensitive nature of topics touched upon in the story and the unintended messages to readers of different ages and backgrounds.

When Aliza told that she didn't have money we had a very heated discussion about how Aryeh reacted. the opinions of men and women were VERY different.

I doubt the letters were about the Aliza and Aryeh story (although you never know). I think it was more about "how can a Jewish mother not want to take care of her children and be overwhelmed".

I just thought the Aryeh and Aliza story greatly highlighted the story between men and women. In our discussion on the topic the men thought Aryeh acted perfectly reasonable while the women thought it was incredibly hurtful that he said he had to think it over.

yeah, right, jewish mothers can never be human? (sarcastic).

interesting, because I was taught that jewish women are human, and sometimes depression and other issues happen, as does plain feeling overwhelmed. and our job is to seek ways to nurture ourselves, and learn coping skills to know how to raise our children with whatever else we are dealing with in life.

I thought the author was talking about that, wasnt she?

I thought it was playing out really nicely. In the letters to the editor a lot of women were able to relate to Leba. But one women wrote in very strongly about whats wrong with women today can't they be good mothers - it came across so smug and self righteous. Everyone has struggles.

grrr, and for that one woman, all women shouldnt be able to gain insight on how to deal with their situation?


I think its time for me to get off my soapbox before I get too riled up. pity I dont sit on the magazines' committees. I would be able to clue them in on reality. Wink
