Ginsburg did not give up her religion | Brief letters

Your obituary of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (19 September) said she had abandoned her religion. On receiving an award from the Genesis Prize Foundation in 2018, she said: “I am a judge, raised and proud of being a Jew. The demand for justice, for peace and for enlightenment runs through the entirety of Jewish history and Jewish tradition.” Does that sound like a woman who had abandoned her religion?Jonathan HoffmanLondon

• I read the feature on menopause (22 September) with some bemusement. All these points were made by Germaine Greer 30 or 40 years ago. Wasn’t anyone else listening? And how sad that so many women feel obliged to cover up their lovely, empowering grey hair.Dr Brigid PurcellNorwich

• When Nicola Sturgeon gives a TV press conference she is accompanied by a sign language interpreter. Not so for any English minister. Is this (a) contempt for the hard of hearing; (b) a kindly measure to spare them the nonsense; or (c) the inability of signers to convey gibberish?Elisabeth Leedham-GreenCambridge

• I was intrigued to see an ad in the paper (19 September) for apartments in the former BBC Television Centre for sale at between £2.5m and £6m. It seems that this property developer sees Guardian readers like me to be more wealthy than I ever imagined.Rev Robin BrooksHeddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland

• I’ve seen few £2 coins this year (Royal Mint to stop production of £2 and 2p coins due to excess stock, 18 September). Are most of them being stockpiled in 35mm film canisters?Robin MorrisOxford
