A new Editorial Board is currently working to give this site a badly needed makeover. We are hoping to unveil our new site on August 15th, 2007. It will have a new look, new articles, and new features that will make it the place to go for Black Jews, Hebrew Israelites, and people of color who are seeking the God of Israel. If you would like to help with this project as a web designer or write articles for our readers, return the information requested in this Application to Rabbi Sholomo Levy immediately. |
