I expect a lot of overlap between Berkeley Square Blog readers and those of Jewish World Review.
Over five years ago, I launched JewishWorldReview.com and told one and all that I would "put my heart" into it -- what has resulted may have been more literal than I had imagined.
On the afternoon of Sunday August 17, I was admitted to Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn. It's an institution that enjoys a reputation as having one of the finest cardiac centers in the nation. Without getting into the particulars, after a battery of tests, the problem was diagnosed and a remedy is being worked upon.
Why am I telling you this? For a simple reason: Because I think you care.
Though time and again I have been advised against publicizing this fact, I do not hide that JWR is a one-man-show. I think the quality of my webzine and, particularly, the quality of its readers -- including White House staffers, senators, congressmen, syndicated talk show hosts, editorial page editors, Fortune 500 CEOs and just ordinary religious and patriotic Americans -- says a lot about who we serve and what we stand for.
