PLEASE SUPPORT JWR:

Dearest readers:

Today is the Jewish holiday of Purim. Though unlike the Jewish Sabbath (Shabbes) and the holy days, work is permitted. Still, Jews have a number of extra religious obligations today, including special and extended prayer services and other functions.

Though I've been up for most of the night getting today's issue out, I'm already running behind schedule. If it's not too much trouble, PLEASE access today's issue via our Front Page:

Jewish World Review

And, yes, despite the fact that I will be spending most of the day away from the office, I have every intention of publishing tomorrow. Purim, after all, is about miracles and the fact JWR continues to publish is basically a miracle. Yes, I know, we're not supposed to rely on them, but... :)

Thanks so much for continuing to read JWR and spreading the word about us. It makes it all worth it.

Warmest regards --- and in friendship,
Binyamin L. Jolkovsky,
Editor in Chief

To the chagrin of a phalanx of wives, the Brothers--both biological and ersatz--do this stuff for free, but some folks depend on reader support for their livelihoods. Mr. Jolkovsky's Jewish World Review is an invaluable source of quality writing and sensible, sometimes profound, opinion. We urge y'all to check them out and, if you haven't already, sign up for their daily newsletter.

We wish all our Hebraic homeys a good Purim and hope everyone will observe the day by praying for the allied troops who are now in harm's way in the Gulf. God Bless you all and God bless those who fight for freedom everywhere.
