“You see, MIL has so much to offer. And while Son and DIL don’t seem to want/appreciate it, others do”
As a person with hearing loss, it was gratifying to read “A Different Kind of Sound,” about women struggling with this. Too often mainstream frum media articles on medical conditions, including hearing loss, lack nuance or comprehensiveness. Typically, it’s obvious to those living with the condition that the author had no prior significant knowledge on the condition and sought to compile the piece with limited meaningful sources.
By contrast, the perspectives of the various individuals and professionals interviewed and synthesized into this article allowed for an accurate portrayal of hearing loss and its impact. The explanation of the science behind hearing loss and cochlear implants was factual yet written in an easy-to-understand manner. Thank you, Shoshana Gross, for taking the time to be comprehensive and discriminating in your knowledge-gathering.

I was delighted to read the interesting article about my former classmate’s mother, Dr. Judith Leff a”h. Growing up with Chana Leff, I always knew she and her family were exceptionally smart kein ayin hara, though I really didn’t know much about her parents’ vocations. What I did know about Chana, and remember to this day, was her “geonus” in middos. Chana was everyone’s friend, never part of a clique, and always stayed out of class politics. She added so much to our class discussions and activities, yet had no problem abstaining from joining our childish pranks when she knew something wasn’t right. Reading about Chana’s exceptional mother a”h, I understand from where these wonderful qualities derived!
Wishing her much hatzlachah, nachas, and gezunt, till 120!
