2008 October Cape Jewish Chronicle PDFIf nothing else, this October issue clearly indicates that there is an enormous amount of activity in this neck of the woods, as reflected in the paper’s size. And this despite the 66 pages of September!

So what has been happening, you may ask – not forgetting that we also give advance ‘warning’ of things yet to come. Well …. a hint of most of the highlight events is clearly there on page 1, as ‘appetisers’ to take you deeper into the meal. Having devoured them and their ‘continued ons’ further in, the rest of the menu is well worth enjoying.

Leading you in are items such as Hagai’ Segal’s analysis of developments in Israel’s political scene-change on page 4; some interesting stuff on human rights delegations on page 7; the report on the Limmud learning weekend, which drew amazing responses, on page 8 and elsewhere; the B’nai Brith ‘One to One’ on page 11 (and 32); UJC’s graduation of young, potential future communal leaders, on page 12; an update on the Cape Town Holocaust Centre’s impressive, ongoing activities, on page 13 … and so it goes.

As you read through the paper you will be amazed at the material within. Nechama’s item on helping children deal with loss is truly valuable, as is the advice to employers not to underrate the qualities of the more mature.

One should note the AGM reports of Glendale and Astra plus info on some special general meetings of certain welfare bodies. In fact, the reader should not pass over any of the 44 pages, including the ads, which besides being colourful, offer some valuable ‘sales and services’.

Having said all this, then, waste no time – just download and read.
