Dear Readers,
 

We are very proud to welcome you to the Rosh Hashanah issue and to our new name, The Montreal Jewish Magazine, which is our best edition yet. We have continued with our special Celebrations insert. The Montreal Jewish Magazine is published twice a year – at Rosh Hashanah and Passover. It reaches over 125,000 readers throughout Montreal and the Laurentians. If you have a Mezuzah on your door, the Magazine will be delivered to you – free of charge. We deliver to 14 areas of the city: Cote St. Luc, Hampstead, T.M.R., Snowdon, Cote-Des-Neiges, Outremont, D.D.O., Chomedey, St. Laurent, Montreal West, N.D.G., Westmount, and parts of downtown Montreal, as well as our community on the South Shore and at select locations in the Laurentians. You can also pick up a copy of the Magazine throughout the next six months in shopping malls, synagogues, Jewish schools and institutions, Kosher restaurants and stores, organizations, at our office, the Federation CJA Centre, professional offices, supermarkets, hotels, medical buildings, CLSCs, hospitals, the Tourism Bureau and for students, at the Hillel House in downtown Montreal. Look for our booth at various charitable and Jewish events! In our Celebrations section, the best of Montreal’s businesses are on display as well as a peek into the glitz and glamour of charity events. This special section has all the information you need to prepare and plan your next Simcha. The rest of the Magazine is filled with advertising sections arranged in alphabetical order (e.g. Auto, Business, Home), as well as everything from how to put on a Mezuzah to lighting the Shabbos candles. We’ve included an in depth look at two local Rabbis, Joe King’s The Bagg Street Shul, Mike Cohen’s Travel & Celebrations, various business profiles, Yiddish Expressions and the ever-popular Jewish Chuckles. We also provide listings of all synagogues, Jewish schools, Kosher retailers, and much more. We look forward to continue providing you with the best and most valuable resource publication in the Montreal and Laurentian areas. Thank you for making our Magazine your number one resource Magazine in Montreal.
