In the shadow of a lie is a forest of deceit.
— Jewish saying

OK, DON'T SUPPORT JWR!

[THURSDAY'S update is below. PLEASE read what follows til the end. It's short.]

Instead, support yourself.

Yes, you read that right.

It occurred to me: Maybe I've been framing this all wrong.

Instead of emphasizing how you can support JWR, how about me reminding you how JWR can support you.

2016 is almost over. If you make a donation by December 31 -- either electronically via our secure server or by sending a check dated by that cut-off point, you will qualify for a tax deduction in this calendar year.

Put differently: By giving JWR life you'll be making yours easier; reducing your tax burden for the year, all while doing something for the greater good.

Isn't that an offer you can't refuse?

So, PLEASE HELP YOURSELF --- AND JWR.

We both need it.

In gratitude and friendship for your readership and support,
Binyamin L. Jolkovsky,
Editor in Chief
