Shabbat Shalom!  Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and Boulder Jewish News is certainly thankful for all its readers — and writers — that have been a part of our growth this year.  As many folks are traveling and school is out, we hope everyone enjoys a much needed break!

Have you visited the home page of Boulder Jewish News lately? We have added a bit of real-time feedback for you – now on the right side you’ll find two new boxes. One shows “Latest Comments” – this tells you what readers are “talking about” by showing who has left recent comments and a link to the article. As you read through the interesting feedback on the articles you can “like” a comment by clicking on the small “thumbs up” (or the opposite – thumbs down) to the right of the commenter’s name. You can “like” the full article as well.

The second new box shows “Top 3 posts” (as measured by comments). Another way we can see “top posts” is by looking at traffic – and this past week was one of the best of the year.  Here are the six highest-viewed stories this week – thanks to all contributors!

• #6, “Another Take on Who is a Jew“
• #5, “Rabbi Marc Soloway Without Borders“
• #4, “Zeta Beta Tau Raises Big Bucks“
• #3, “Jewish Insight Into Occupy Wall St.“;
• #2, “The GA Goes GaGa“;
• and the Number One viewed article this week: “Turkey Talk“, by Rabbi Marc Soloway.

Have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving!
