I have just risen from the Jewish mourning period of Shiva, and wanted to personally thank all you who expressed your condolences and words of support. I would also like to thank those of you who kindly took the time to include my father in your prayers during his illness. Your support gave my family and I strength during this very difficult time.
Over the next weeks, I plan on including some more personal posts and stories about my father, in addition to the usual fare. I think you will agree he was a truly remarkable man.
Regarding my blogging future, I have no plans to quit in the near future. In fact, I am more determined to really make a difference. I am not going to be content maintaining the current level of traffic – I need to reach more people. Sure, there are plenty of other blogs in support of Israel and the Jewish people – some with a far greater reach – but I truly believe Israellycool has a unique style.
If you also believe in the future of this blog, then I’m going to need your help. Please help spread the word, whether it be on forums, social networking platforms, or emails to family and friends. My target is to double my daily traffic by the end of the year. It’s definitely going to be a challenge, but I know it is possible with your help.
