As we enter the New Year, let’s begin on the note of hope. Not easy as you know. We have so many problems in our families, our nation and the international scene. There is discouragement. There is hopelessness.

There is anger and hate. Where do we turn for help? God? Yes, because we are God believing people. We Jews, Christians and Muslims believe God is a personal God – a loving God – an inspiring God.

We believe our God gives us the intelligence to solve our problems through Dialogue. That is why we decided to publish our magazine ten years ago. This New Year 2009 begins our eleventh year. Through Dialogue we come to understand one another better. Through Dialogue the Walls of Fear – the Walls of Distrust – the Walls of Misunderstanding crumble. That is why we produced a grass-roots magazine. We wanted to translate scholarly information into simple laymen’s language. So far we have succeeded. We have touched thousands of people. We thank God for His guidance. We thank you for your support through prayers and financial assistance. May God bless you and your loved ones in our New Year 2009.
