Shabbat shalom!  We hope everyone will find ways to keep cool this weekend.  Next week is Tisha B’Av — the Ninth of Av, the day in history when both the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed, 500 years apart.  Aish Kodesh and Bonai Shalom have planned community services Monday night and Tuesday to mark the fast day.

For the month of July, BJN will go to a weekly schedule. For those who are contributors, the weekly deadline will be 5:00 pm on the following Wednesdays:

• July 17
• July 24
• July 31

To the extent there is breaking news or lifecycle events, we will publish as usual, however, for everything else, please plan ahead and pay attention to the Friday “Week in Review” email!

Here are this week’s stories:
