(AJNews) – Rosh Hashana is approaching and AJNews is once again celebrating with two special editions – one for Calgary and one for Edmonton. We’re proud to be the newspaper of the Alberta Jewish Community, publishing interesting and relevant original community news in print, as well as our online weekly “Alberta Jewish Schmooze” which goes right into our readers’ inboxes and daily posts on our website and X (formerly known as twitter).
It is more important than ever that we have a community newspaper to connect us and you can show your appreciation by purchasing holiday greetings in the newspaper three times a year – Rosh Hashana, Chanukah, and Passover. There are three sizes – small for $36, medium for $72 and large for $180 – something to suit any budget. If you enjoy receiving the newspaper each month, this is a great way to let the whole community know it.
Your participation helps us pay for printing and home deliveries to as many people in our communities as possible. It also allows us to give generous discounts to our Jewish organizations to help them advertise their events. With the funds generated from greetings, we are also able to amplify community activities across the wide spectrum of affiliations in our community. As a service to community members, we also provide further discounts for personal notices of appreciation, announcements of milestones and obituaries.
Each month we also send bundles of newspapers to schools, shuls and other gathering places. In Calgary, newspapers can be picked up at the Paperny Family JCC, Beth Tzedec, Temple B’nai Tikvah, House of Jacob Mikveh Israel, Jewish Family Services Calgary, Calgary Jewish Academy, Halpern Akiva Academy and Chabad of Alberta. They are also available in our Blue Box in front of Glenmore Landing Safeway and at Grumans Delicatessen.
In Edmonton, newspapers can be picked up at Talmud Torah, Bliss Baked Goods, Beth Shalom, Beth Israel, Temple Beth Ora, Jewish Federation of Edmonton office, OPH, Jewish Senior Citizens Centre, Chabad of Edmonton and Jewish Family Services. Also at our Blue Newspaper Box in front of Callingwood Safeway, at theEuropean Market in Callingwood Shopping Centre and at our Blue Newspaper Box near BMO in Wolf Willow.
If you’ve already pre-booked your greetings with us – thank you! Otherwise in the coming weeks, you will be approached to purchase a greeting in the Alberta Jewish News – by Sandy Fayerman in Calgary or by Dan Moser or Deb Shatz in Edmonton. Please say yes and book the greeting through them, or by calling the office at 780 421-7966 or sending an email to albertajewishnews@gmail.com.
You can also book your greeting online via our website at albertajewishnews.com/ greetings. Our booking system allows you to book one holiday at a time or several at once – and the site allows you to specify the size of greeting that you’d like as well as your choice of holiday message. You can also now pay for greetings when you book them – on a secure site – or pay later with a cheque or eft.
The holidays are a time to connect with family and friends, and this is our way of connecting with each of you.
See you soon, on the greeting pages of Alberta Jewish News.
