Dear Readers of LocalJewishNews-
For the last 7 years I have enjoyed the opportunity to administer this website and to find ways to bring events, shiurim, chizuk, and chesed opportunities to our readers on a regular basis. I feel very pleased in knowing that these efforts helped our community to grow and to do more.
Now the time has come for me to step down from this position and to hand it over to Shmuel Kessler, the original founder of the website. While I will miss being a part of the LocalJewishNews, I will be happy to have many hours of my time back to be able to learn more, sleep a little more, and to do other things.
As of Sept 3rd, operation will move over to Shmuel who will continue to run the site with the same spirit and continued importance placed upon helping others, promoting up and coming local businesses, all while being a strong business itself.
As before, readers/ advertisers can contact Shmuel via info@LocalJewishNews.com or to reply to the emails that are part of the daily mailings.
Thanks very much to the wonderful Cleveland community for all that they do.
May Hashem bless us with a growing, kind, and connected Torah community.
Sincerely, Akiva Feinstein, akivafeinstein@gmail.com

Tizkeh L’Mitzvot to Rabbi Feinstein on the LJN editorship! I look forward to reading the daily digest on my former community, which I still visit from time to time and vote in via absentee ballot. I wish him success on his other endeavors, and am sure that that LJN will continue to be a source of nachat to everyone!
