SAN DIEGO – This publication will go on a hiatus that will begin Tuesday, December 15, 2020 and will continue through Monday, January 4, 2021. Although San Diego Jewish World will remain on line, with its extensive archives, no new stories will be filed during this period. Advertisers will not be charged during the hiatus, even though their ads will continue to run.
This three-week pause was necessitated by the fact that I will be having surgery on December 15th to remove a small meningioma from the surface of my brain – an operation that is expected to require a few days recovery period in the hospital followed by recuperation at home.
Doctors inform me that in 90 percent of the cases, meningiomas are benign. If that turns out to be my situation, the three-week pause should be more than sufficient time to recover and to begin planning our coverage for what promises to be an exciting news year in 2021.
During our hiatus, the Jewish community will be celebrating the last several days of Chanukah, and the entire world will be celebrating the beginning of the secular New Year, 2021.
I’d like to take this occasion to wish all of our readers happiness and health on these occasions, and additionally I’m delighted to extend Season’s Greetings to our community’s many Christian friends.
Hazak! Hazak! Hazak! May we all go from strength to strength!

Thank you Yaakov & Devorah It’s a very special compliment coming from two people who have done so much themselves for the Jewish community. FYI, my surgery has been postponed until Dec. 18
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. May 2021 treat you, and us all, well.
Don, may you recover quickly. Have a happy and HEALTHY New Year! Thanks for all you do.
May God guide your surgeon’s hands, and may you recover from a benign meningioma!
