His request should be respected. Religion is a private matter and is no one's business. Belief is mote important than any dogma, and as we all should realize, faith is personal and subjective. We do not know what or where we came from, so any beliefs are based on our own suppositions and emotions. He has been a good husband to Caroline and no one other than he should be concerned about when he last visited a shul. Meddling is a hobgoblin of all religions, but true faith opens your heart to the preciousness of each life and its own decisions to live as it pleases as long as it harms no one. God is in all of us, not just the chosen few. Milkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523041.post-13916106906958920992013-11-11T17:38:01.540-05:002013-11-11T17:38:01.540-05:00I am Jewish.

It is a very divisive force when what we need now is acceptance and inclusion.

This is our loss. I think Shlossberg's request that you remove any other views is out of line.<br /><br />Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that others speculate about his religious practice. He doesn't say when this "proud Jew" visited a shul recently.<br /><br />Irv Mermelstein, Ann Arbor MIIrvin A.

I wonder if that was really him? I heard Ms. Caroline Kennedy, say, on Larry King, that she never took the name Schlossberg, but did not mind if other's addressed her as Mrs. Schlossberg or Ms. Kennedy-Schlossberg.<br /><br />I had read that when reporters sought Ed's mother's feelings/thoughts about her son's marriage to the very Catholic Miss Kennedy, the Sr. Mrs. Schlossberg replied to the effect that she & her husband were Jews. She did not elaborate; but I had the feeling she was somewhat sad, confused or both. I heard she had also had to deal with a bad bone or ankle injury at time of wedding and actually left her son's wedding reception early.<br /><br />While America's Jews were very interested in the "Jewish Angle" to the Kennedy Legend, Ed and his family have been very, very quiet. We all know Caroline Kennedy is closed mouthed. I recall reading that Ed cooperated w/Catholic Protocal regarding an interfaith wedding held in a church; that he agreed to raise his kids Catholic. There has been no further discussion of Caroline being married to a Jew or of Edward Schlossberg's feelings about intermarriage.<br /><br />Watching Ed at the Ted Kennedy's funeral yesterday, I noticed he particpated in the Lord's Prayer. This prayer has also become very popular & mainstreamed because of it's use in 12 Step Recovery Meetings. It may not mean anything signifigant for Ed to be participating in the service; though most of my Orthodox-raised friends get persnickity about this.<br /><br />On a personal level, it was reassuring to read that Mr. Schlossberg has a healthy Jewish Identity; that he is not so overwhelmed by his wife's celebrated family as to forget his own beautiful faith. I have always loved the Kennedys, but it somehow, makes me sad when I read of the kids, and think they might not know anything about their Jewish heritage. Right now, Pope Benedict does not appear to be too friendly towards Jews. For all we know Caroline might be very gracious and inclusive about her Jewish in-laws; but we don't know. This is probably the most high-profile intermarriage of the 20th Century, and the Jewish Community knows nothing about how this celebrated family is REALLY treating the "Jewish Issue".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523041.post-84487474294294517432009-07-12T23:25:21.300-04:002009-07-12T23:25:21.300-04:00Tzvee, didn't you notice who commented on your...Tzvee, didn't you notice who commented on your blog?<br />I've been looking for the quotation (online) of ES's mother at the time of their engagment.
