Jewish World Review editor Binyamin L. Jolkovsky just sent this email. It's true, reading the two pieces he points to take on a different dimension after reading this note. They're short, too, so take a look.
A few moments ago, my heart sank.
Going through my e-mail, I learned that one of this publication's periodic contributors, Chezi Goldberg, who dedicated his life to working with "at risk" teens and who was originally from Toronto and living in Jerusalem, was killed in today's bus bombing.
But what is so eerie was not his death -- that stung and I'm still feeling sick over it. And I mean SICK! What stung were the near prophetic words in one of his essays.
It's the middle of the day. I understand many subscribers are busy. But PLEASE take a moment and read these essays.
And then forward them to somebody you know -- and ask them to do the same.
It's important that his words move over the web no less that the jokes we always forward!
I'm CERTAIN that after reading the two articles you will agree with me.
PLEASE do it for Chezi. Do it for all of us. PLEASE
Binyamin L. Jolkovsky,
Editor in Chief
