APOLOGIES --- AGAIN!


I put my heart and soul (literally) into producing each issue of JWR.
Days like yesterday infuriate me.

The server company which I hired was responsible for your newsletter arriving several hours late --- and, a few hours later, forcing the site to be inaccessible.

I'm a generally VERY loyal. I've been with this company since the day JWR launched. But I've given them notice that I've just about had it.

All I can do at this point is to apologize for what appeared to be a lack of professionalism on my part.


In gratitude and friendship,
Binyamin L. Jolkovsky

Caryl Churchill: Loving to hate Israel
By Richard Z. Chesnoff

A blatant attempt to use drama to spew forth her own very one sided, super narrow Mideast political perspective and then call it "art"

NEW SERIES!

"The Sun Will Shine Again" by Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski

What does a person do when he loses his job after years of faithful service? How do we deal with shattered retirement funds --- and broken dreams? Rabbi Dr. Twerski shows us practical strategies to keep our marriages, our families, and our own sense of self worth intact, despite
today's economic woes.

We cannot control a stock market on a rollercoaster ride or a pension plan that's simply vanished, but we can control how we react. We can listen to the financial news and hear a death knell --- or a wakeup call. We can wallow in blame and despair, or harness the incredible
power of prayer and kindness to others.

Yes, times are tough, but Rabbi Twerski assures us that the sun will shine again -- and he shows us how to keep ourselves calm and smiling until it does.

TODAY: Depression Without Despair, Part IV
