Ruby

Hi, Gordon! I have a question for you. My best friend of 7 years has gotten fairly antisemitic recently, which is strange for me as an ethnic jew. I'm not very religious, but my mom is an Ashkenazi jew. He's been to my family seder as well as attended the first night of Chanukah with us, and has always been accepting of me. What should I do?

I'm not an expert, Ruby, but I know what I would do if anyone upset me on any topic. I would bring the subject out in the open just to see if there is any point in trying to continue the friendship. Relationships are hard and can only continue when both sides are happy with the way things are going. Good luck. -----Gordon Korman-----
