To the Editor:

As a member of the “generic Jewish Community of America”—Ashkenazi and Sephardi—may I take this opportunity to commend you on the excellent article “The Sephardim of New Lots” by Leonard Plotnik, which appeared in your January number. It seemed to me a most edifying and unbiased presentation. The Sephardic Jews of my acquaintance . . . were gratified at the writer’s account of the evolution and integration of the Sephardic community into the over-all pattern of Jewish community life in America.
