Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.

UPDATED

JWR values EACH AND EVERY READER! With the understanding that we have a number of non-Jewish readers, we are providing an extra edition accessible below.

Needless to say, there's great material, carefully chosen for substance as well as style.

We are suspending publication til Wednesday in observance of the last set of holidays of the "High Holy Days" season, known as Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah.

For the next 48 hours, observant Jews will spend much of the day and part of the night in the synagogue. While there's prayer and study, there will also be joyous dancing and singing. In many regards, the holidays revolve around the children, who get to stay up late and are rewarded with all sorts of treats.

I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your readership and ongoing kindness (including clicking) that keeps me going and the site alive!

May the coming year be one of health, happiness and inspiration!
