MORE

Divrei Bracha have been given for Thrive from one of the most notable rabbis in St. Louis.  The point of this is to encourage even more people to read Thrive and give it the approval that some people might want for things being read in their homes.  The rav who gave his divrei bracha was enthusiastic in his support; he found it to be a great magazine: uplifting, enriching, and all-around appropriate.  (Divrei Bracha means "words of blessing" to the endeavor, and is similar to a "haskama" but more appropriate for a non-halachic work.)

About subscribing: Thrive is available primarily via the internet, and then the reader can download and print it for themself or others.  I am able to give paper copies to a large number of individuals in my local community.  It is much too expensive for me to offer to mail copies to people outside of town or outside my friends and family, unless you want to subscribe.  Subscription is $5 a year.*  I can send it to a limited number of people who are not willing/able to send a subscription check, so email me if you do not have any way of getting it online.  Keep in mind you can use the internet at the library if you don't have it at home.  You are free to enjoy this magazine without cost on the website. *Currently 3 issues have been printed. We anticipate printing at least 2 more, but hope to continue for as long as possible.  If you send in a subscription check, you will get however many more come out up through the 5th issue.

Share Thrive!  Please pass on the Thrive website or forward the emails to anyone you like.  Tell them to come to the website so that the "hit counter" reflects all the new readers!  Thank you for helping to spread Thrive.
