While generally the April issue is the prelude to Pesach, this year the first day of Pesach – 15 Nisan – falls on 30 March. That being so, March has to be our โPesach editionโ.
Tradition being a keynote to our Jewish survival, the Chronicle likewise follows a traditional approach. Rather than focusing โbig timeโ on one specific item, we traditionally feature on our front page what we see as some of the major stories of the month, with a picture or two, following up with the storiesโ within the body of the paper. You will note a number of โsee pageโs on this monthโs front page.
In addition, where space allows, we indicate further recommendations in the โInside this Issueโ panel at the bottom of the page, as is there this month.
However, to adapt Al Jolsonโs โYou โaint seen nuttin yetโ, we guarantee plenty more for all tastes, covering the wide range of interests of our special community.
Of course, besides the locals who actually enjoy reading โon lineโ, the Chronicle is likewise our โshowpieceโ for former Capetonians and friends the world over who maintain an interest in whatโs doing here down south.
In this month of March, to all of you readers, wherever you may be, our warmest good wishes for the forthcoming Festival of Freedom โ Chag Sameach โ A Warm and Happy Pesach with Family and Friends!
