I thought that Jewish Journal readers would be interested in the “gloomiest” of the responses.

I need to note that “gloomiest” does not mean that I foresee any Jewish tragedy, let alone the disappearance of the Jewish people. I have no doubt that the Jewish people will still be around in 50 — indeed in 500 — years. Moreover, we Jews have the capacity to turn things around. But you can’t improve a situation if you don’t acknowledge how serious it is. Any physician who denies the seriousness of a patient’s illness cannot help his or her patient.
