A definite surge has shown a rise in our barometer this month — erev Rosh Hashanah — and as at time of writing, 4 August, we assess the increase as about 6%.This means that we are now approximately 27% of the way to our target.
Thank you, readers, for that ongoing support.
A target of 100%, we all know is absolutely unthinkable and definitely not envisaged (though not entirely impossible, perhaps!). But
50% would be really fantastic and we will continue reminding — or nagging if you prefer — to that end!
Some very generous readers have presented us with over and above the suggested R200, for which we are even more grateful.
Then too there was a generous ‘subscription’ from an overseas reader — which caused us all to gush with delight. Writing in very warm tones, he said that he had just received his July copy and noted that we were apparently facing a ‘financial crunch’.
“What a tragedy if they close,” he adds. “It will certainly impact on my life. I look forward to receiving my monthly uplifting tonic from ‘de heim’. The closely knit Jewish community of Cape Town is acknowledged in the Jewish world as quite unique …. ”
An even warmer thanks to that supportive reader.
