Shalom My Gantseh Megillah Family and Friends. Welcome to Issue #286 of the Weekly Gantseh Megillah.

It is a pleasure to return to publishing the Weekly Megillah after a being away for so long. Although I am still slowly recovering, I am at a stage in the healing process that enables  me, with Arnold's assistance, to move forward with publishing the Weekly Megillah through the summer months.

Please remember that we have lost quite a bit of income since I became ill, and was unable to publish, so you can help by giving here.

Encourage your friends to visit the Megillah and become members of our family. If you haven't visited the site recently, now might be a good time to reacquaint yourself with the wealth of stories and information it provides.

Please support the Megillah by purchasing items from our Megillah shop. A portion of every purchase goes toward the publication, maintenance, and growth of the Gantseh Megillah. And remember to click on the generic Amazon.com link ()before doing any shopping on Amazon so the Megillah can also receive a small  commission on the sale.

Remember, your thoughts and comments are always welcome. Please email your observations to gantsehmegillah@gmail.com.

We count on our Megillah family members as our major source of financial support. Kindly contribute whatever amount you can afford, no matter how small or large, by going to the following link: http://www.pass.to/newsletter/tzedakeh.htm Your help is essential, and will be put to very good use.

Much love to all of you and thank you for your continued support and confidence.
