Rosh HaShana issue, Sept. 10.
To submit your favorite memory, by Aug.
20 please type your information, double-
spaced, and include your name, home
address, daytime telephone number and, if
possible, a photograph of yourself.

Dear Reader,
In the coming weeks, we and our printer
will be working together to improve how
color pictures are reproduced in the Jewish
News. Until we can be sure that you are
seeing the pictures with the clarity they
deserve, we will limit the frequency of our use
of color photographs.
If you are accustomed to color in our many
sections, you may find this and the next few
issues a little gray. But we hope you will find
the black-and-white photos sharp and telling.
Let us know what you think!
Shabbat Shalom,
