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 ‘Pesach edition’.
Tradition being a keynote to our Jewish survival, the Chronicle likewise follows a traditional approach. Rather than focusing ‘big time’ 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 stories’ within the body of the paper. You will note a number of ‘see page’s on this month’s front page.
In addition, where space allows, we indicate further recommendations in the ‘Inside this Issue’ panel at the bottom of the page, as is there this month.
However, to adapt Al Jolson’s “You ’aint seen nuttin yet’, 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 ‘on line’, the Chronicle is likewise our ‘showpiece’ for former Capetonians and friends the world over who maintain an interest in what’s 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 – Chag Sameach – A Warm and Happy Pesach with Family and Friends!
