Shalom my
Gantseh Megillah family, and
friends.
Welcome to issue #284 of the Weekly Gantseh
Megillah.
As promised, the Weekly Megillah is back. It is our
sincere desire to publish our Weekly edition each week. We thank our
entire Megillah family for your loyalty, loving concern and support during my
current medical situation. You are our primary motivation to work as hard as
we do in order to keep the Megillah online, as we have for the past 11 years.
If you care to make a
contribution to help support the Megillah, please do so by going to
http://www.pass.to/newsletter/tzedakeh.htm. Every donation, large, small
or anywhere in between helps pay the expenses of keeping the Megillah a
constant presence on the Web. We cannot do it without you, our Megillah
family.
Enjoy the news stories we have selected for
your reading pleasure this week.
Much love to all of you,
Michael
