To the Editor:
Boris Ryvkin's '09 column ("Jewish life at Brown not for everyone," Jan. 21) discusses his experiences trying to find a Jewish community at Brown. However, his column fails to mention Alpha Epsilon Pi, Brown's chapter of the international Jewish fraternity. The brothers of AEPi, Jews and gentiles alike, have created a strong community based on Jewish values. It is a diverse and incredible group of guys, some more religiously observant than others, who all share the desire to forge a unique college experience rooted in Jewish ideals. Ryvkin may have had his reasons for not joining AEPi, but a complete discussion of Jewish life at Brown would include mention of AEPi and the opportunities it presents to Brown students.
