Put an end to abuse

Letters

Editor: Good for everyone involved in the support group mentioned in the Bulletin's last article about the Schara Tzedeck cemetery board. ("Support group seeks answers," Bulletin cover, Jan. 3) We are absolutely nauseated by the fact that this issue has continued for so long. To be abused and traumatized at the time of mourning is despicable. The Aceman family has a very large plot in the cemetery and we wouldn't stand for it if we had to deal with something like this ourselves.

Our own family's dealing with the cemetery board's chair on other matters at the cemetery have proven to be very disagreeable. I agree with everything that Rabbi Yosef Wosk said in the Bulletin and it is now time to put a stop to all of this. Change the leadership of the cemetery board as this has to end for the sake of our community.
