On this Erev Rosh Hashanah morning of 5770/71, we would like to thank our tens of thousands of devoted readers across the globe for visiting YWN each day, patronizing our advertisers, and continuing to make our website grow into your #1 stop for breaking news. We started YWN five years ago, and without your participation, we would not be entering our 6th year together.

Thanks to our entire staff of reporters, office personnel, our photo & video staff – including, Yehuda Boltshauser (Kuvien Images & YWN Israel), Hillel Engel, JDN, PhotoDynamics, Shimon Gifter, and the rest of the team – for capturing as many photos & videos as possible of anything of interest for the YWN readership. Thanks to them, our photo gallery has close to 200,000 photos!

As our readers know, this past year YWN launched a redesigned website. Some of the features added on our new site include: Shomrim Blotter, Torah Corner, Video Section, Kashrus Korner, Book Reviews (Powered by Israel Book Shop), Kosher Recipes (Powered by Gourmet Kosher Cooking). They are read daily by so many of you, and we appreciate the continued support, and feedback on our content.

This posting would not be complete with a special thanks to the entire staff at Duvys Media (http://www.duvys.com/). You guys go above and beyond what’s required 24hrs a day.

Recently we launched YWN Radio which has B”H seen tremendous growth. YWN Radio gives you the latest Jewish music streamed to your computers 24 hours a day. Stay tuned to some exciting new features which will be added in the very near future, which will take YWN Radio to a level never before done in Jewish Internet radio.

We must thank the hundreds of advertisers that help us stay in business, and all of you who click on the ads, or the email blasts which we send out to our subscribers.

Last but not least, a debt of gratitude must be given to the dozens of people across the globe who constantly send us breaking news tips, photos, and other valuable information which we then share with YWN readers. No names are needed – but you guys know who you are…..THANKS!

On that note, I would like personally to thank everyone once again for reading Yeshiva World News, and making this site “THE” largest Frum news website on the Internet.

May Hashem grant us all a year of prosperity, health, and may we be Zoche to report the arrival of Moshiach!

Kisiva Vachasima Tova!

YWN Editor.

NOTE: YWN will not be updated from sundown 9/08 until sundown 9/11 in observance of the Jewish New Year.
