Re: “WARNING: This Column Is Not Kosher for Passover,” Opinion, April 15.

Like the author of this column, I faced the challenge of explaining Passover to my friends. It is incredibly difficult to explain to someone in five minutes why I cannot eat bread, rice, pasta, peanut butter, corn syrup, etc. on Passover.

However, I find that Cornell Dining has made it easy for me to keep fully kosher for Passover. The Kosher Dining Hall, 104 West, offers great food options for Passover. Not only do they serve the traditional matzoh and gefilte fish, but also interesting items, such as kosher for Passover pasta and rolls. As a vegetarian, I have never had trouble finding something I can eat.

Re: “Overhead,” Daze, Feb. 20

Concerning your publication of a purportedly “Overheard” conversation concerning Jews and money, I am appalled and deeply offended that you chose to publish content that supports an anti-semitic and unfounded stereotype.
