SDJW Inside/ Staff Box

We've made format changes in this issue, putting local contests and local news at the top of the home page and putting international news and commentary afterwards. It's not that we think what happens in San Diego County is more important than what happens elsewhere in the world--far from it. We highlight San Diego coverage because it is unique to this publication, whereas the international and national coverage, as good as it is, can be found elsewhere. To help our readers navigate the pages we've created a new "Departments & Special Features" box at the top of the page. We hope you like the changes and, as always, we welcome your comments to editor@sandiegojewishworld.com

Dedications

Today's issue is dedicated with happy birthday greetings to Lesley Mills, executive director at Congregation Beth Israel.
