As we approach Rosh Hashanah and our milestone 300th issue, we at 

The Jewish Link would like to take a moment to reflect on the past six and a half years. It has been quite a journey, and we are exceedingly grateful to be here, as the leading community paper and platform for our community here in the vibrant, beautiful and ever-growing Jewish New Jersey.

We deeply appreciate the energy, dedication and loyalty of our many readers who have supported us in our efforts, making our paper the source to which everyone in our community turns first for the most important, hyperlocal news of the week. We have been privileged to work with you, celebrate with you and, at times, cry with you. Your news is our news and we look forward to continuing to work together to share our news and our lives.

Thank you to all of our wonderful advertisers, readers, writers, collaborators, designers and editors. We are so lucky to be able to work with you each week, and we are so appreciative that your efforts have helped us reach this milestone edition and an unprecedented 168 pages, our largest paper to date! We particularly thank our advertisers for putting their trust in us and supporting our mission. As we embark on our next 300 issues and beyond, we hope that your triumphs will continue to be our triumphs, and that we will, individually and together, be an ever-increasing source for goodness and kindness in our world. Wishing everyone a Shana Tova U’metuka!
