SH'MA IS CHANGING HANDS

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, September 10, 1998.

In 1993, CLAL assumed the responsibility for publishing Sh'ma - A Journal for Jewish Responsibility. For the past five years, following in the tradition of excellence established by founding editor and publisher Dr. Eugene Borowitz, Shma has continued, under the excellent editorial direction of Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin, to stimulate thought provoking dialogue on contemporary challenges to Judaism and Jewish life. CLAL has been honored to have had the opportunity to publish Sh'ma, one of the few pluralist forums in American Jewish Life in which new voices and established leaders across the religious and political spectrum have been able to engage in constructive, engaging and enlightening conversation.

CLAL is pleased to report that on September 11, 1998, Jewish Family & Life! under the direction of Yosef I. Abramowitz, will become the publisher of Sh'ma. Yossi Abramowitz is a dynamic entrepreneur in Jewish journalism and one of the important new voices on the North American Jewish scene, who has many exciting and innovative plans for the continued growth and vitality of Sh'ma.

CLAL is transferring all unfulfilled subscriptions to Jewish Family & Life!. Jewish Family & Life! will be contacting all subscribers as it assumes responsibility for all future issues of the journal. (For further information, contact JFL at 877-568-7462.)

We are confident that under the leadership of Jewish Family & Life! and Yossi Abramowitz, this dialogue will continue to flourish, affirming creative diversity and our unity as a Jewish people.
