5 TIPS FOR SAFE HOLIDAY DRIVING 1 Check your car Get your car serviced in time for the holidays. Don’t leave it to the last minute when most auto service centres are booked out 2 Check your eyesight Good vision allows us to read road signs, see potential hazards and judge the distance between cars safely.

When you can’t see a hazard clearly, it’s difficult to avoid a collision, so if it’s been a while since your last eye test, book one in today.

3 Get enough sleep Get a good night’s sleep before leaving home to avoid fatigue which could ch”v lead to an accident. If you find yourself getting drowsy on the way, pull over for a rest.

4 Plan ahead Check the route to your destination well before you leave, instead of relying on Google Maps.

Aim for 15-minute break every two hours to get out of the car for a stretch.

5. Put your phone away Avoid the temptation to glance down at the phone when a text message comes in. Taking your eyes off the road for longer than two seconds, doubles your risk of a crash. Put it in your glovebox or keep it on silent.

Yiddishe Gesheften would like to share with you our big news.

After working very hard in the background over the past few months, we’ve been making some huge changes to our magazine.

Having been a sole print medium for over 20 years – before the internet was relevant – we’ve joined the world of social media!

That’s not because we prefer it that way. In fact, in a survey we took some time ago, our readers unanimously voted for the print magazine to continue.

It’s because the uncertainty in the business world during lockdown made it impossible to print the 6500 copies we’ve been producing for many years.

So we recently opened a Facebook page where you’ll get a peek into the goings on in our background in between printings.

I’ll make a confession here. I am not a social media person, being of an other-age vintage, 😉 and if not for my capable, young assistant, there is no way I could’ve pulled this off. Thank you Rivky But we did it! Just bear with us till I learn the ropes myself.

Please be so kind to give us “shares” and “likes” and whatever it takes to find favour with everyone. Thanks so much. Check us out at https://www.facebook.com/ yiddishegesheften/ As business confidence is restored, we’ve taken the courage to gradually resume printing, and hopefully we’ll be back in full with all the regular features that you love.

In personal news, I finally recovered from my Covid jabs, while hubby is getting over his, albeit with less drama.

Thanking you, our dear readers and clients for your loyalty and support and wishing you a happy holiday in safety and, good health.

Leah and the Team at Yiddishe Gesheften.
