The holiday of Sukkot starts tonight and I will not be blogging until Tuesday night. (And next week the same thing happens again.)
A couple of years ago I created a Sukkah decoration inspired by the artists of Safed, and I completely forgot about it until now. So feel free to print it and use it in your sukkah!
This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For over 14 years and 30,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
