[Mrs. Bacharach responded to an article by Piper Hoffman, a married but childfree Jewish woman.]

So many Jewish children, lives and families were killed and ended by Hitler, destroying generation upon generations of Jewish continuity. But if we don't have children at all, we are even worse than Hitler. We are not even giving the beautiful waiting souls a chance to lead a meaningful Jewish life. And even more so, if we don't give our children a chance to know what being Jewish means and give them a true, all-encompassing Jewish education, we are destroying Judaism at its core.

Yes, you and your husband will have to work together to figure out how to raise your children in a way that they can connect to our rich Jewish heritage that builds such a truly wonderful life.

Piper, I don't mean to hurt you at all, and I apologize if I touched a raw nerve. I was offended by your article.

Maybe, one day, Piper, our kids can have a play date? I think we would connect well and we'll have so much fun!
