Will you help us publish a book for the high holy days?
I'm one of the moderators of Mi Yodeya, a high-quality question-and-answer site for Jewish life and learning. We cover everything from text study to details of halacha (Jewish law) to holiday traditions to practical how-to questions, some beginner-level and some very advanced and a lot in between. The site is community-curated, and the community places high value on answers that include sources or otherwise show their work. We currently have about 13,000 answered questions.
Many of those questions are about the high holy days, and we're publishing a collection of the best of those. We've published collections before (for Pesach, Purim, and Chanukah), but this time we're also doing a print run. Lots of Jews go to synagogues for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur; wouldn't it be great if they could pick up a copy of our book to read and reflect on?
Our members are editing this book right now, and we've identified volunteer distributors who will bring copies to their congregations in several locations (more welcome). Will you help us make this a reality? Would you be willing to help fund our printing costs? Can you spare $5? Or more?
To learn more about the project, or to help us out, I hope you'll visit http://jewcer.com/miyodeya. Thank you.
Answers to anticipated questions:
1. I will not see your credit-card information.
2. Yes you can donate anonymously.
3. Yes, you'll be able to download your own copy, too.
