In fact, all of those honorable mentschen that Abq Jew is about to honor and mention have supported Abq Jew © LLC for many years. And in many ways.
But, getting down to tachlis, they support Abq Jew in one key way:
They advertise. Yes!
These are the people who pay.
Wikipedia says of them, and of mentshlekhkeyt:
Mensch (Yiddish: מענטש mentsh, cognate with German: Mensch "human being") means "a person of integrity and honor." According to Leo Rosten, the Yiddish maven and author of The Joys of Yiddish, "mensch" is "someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character.
The key to being 'a real mensch' is nothing less than character, rectitude, dignity, a sense of what is right, responsible, decorous." The term is used as a high compliment, expressing the rarity and value of that individual's qualities.
In Yiddish, mentsh roughly means "a good person." The word has migrated as a loanword into American English, where a mensch is a particularly good person, similar to a "stand-up guy", a person with the qualities one would hope for in a friend or trusted colleague.
Mentshlekhkeyt (Yiddish מענטשלעכקייט, German Menschlichkeit) are the properties which make a person a mensch.Why do these good people advertise? There are good business reasons, of course.
- The AbqJew.com Website gets more than 2,500 Pageviews every month.
- Each month, the Abq Jew.net Blog gets more than 7,500 Pageviews.
- And our Abq Jew social media outreach (Facebook, Twitter, and more) is even more expansive.
These are people who wish to support
the Albuquerque / New Mexico Jewish community.
the Albuquerque / New Mexico Jewish community.
Now, Abq Jew© LLC is not currently run as a non-profit (501c3) organization. And Abq Jew is certainly not the only organization out there working for the Jewish community.
But these honorable mentschen believe in what Abq Jew is trying to accomplish, and have let him know that in a very concrete way.
Thank you!

Every table, chair, or cabinet that Mary paints is a jewel, truly an heirloom quality object. It is a long, slow, deliberate process. No two pieces are alike and each one holds traces of the hands, mind and heart of the artist who created it.
