Shalom my
Gantseh Megillah family, and
friends.
Welcome to issue #283 of the Weekly Gantseh
Megillah.
For many of us on the east coast (except
here in Montreal, where we had virtually no snow all season) spring cannot
arrive fast enough. Well, with Peysakh just weeks away the snows of
winter are fast melting and Jewish households everywhere are beginning to
prepare for this feast of feast, commemorating our freedom from slavery in
Egypt.
Arnold and I send you our wishes for a
joyous and sweet Passover, with the hopes you are able to spend it with those
you love the most in your life.
If you care to make a
Peysakh 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
