Several people have e-mailed to suggest that I e-mail the JEC earlier than Friday afternoon. I, too, would like to send it earlier. In order to send the JEC on Thursday, I would need all of the materials for that edition by Thursday afternoon. However, the JSU staff has been unable to provide their Shabbat Announcements until after 12:30 pm on Friday, and often later. I feel that the Shabbat Announcements are integral to the JEC, therefore I must wait for them. If enough people feel that this is important to them, then perhaps it would be possible to petition the JSU to finish at least a subset of the Shabbat Announcements by Thursday. Please e-mail me your comments on this and I will pass them along in print to the Rabbi if they are appropriate. Thank you. --Meir
