Here we tell you what we told you and explain what we meant.

As we launch, the New Mexico Jewish Journal site is open. You can read it. There will be four complete issues, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Don't be afraid to hit the subscribe button. There you will see a choice of free (signing up) or paid (subscribing) tiers. Want to mail a check instead of paying online? Go here for our mailing address information.

By choosing free, you are signing up. Signing up means you are now a member of the NMJJ community. You get the quarterly editions of the New Mexico Jewish Journal in your inbox. You get a nice welcome letter and the invitation to converse with the editor. And you are counted among our membership, which helps us sustain our morale, and our advertisers.

We do not share or sell our list, it's completely confidential. Later, we'll scheme about how to dangle "premium" content so you'll want to become a paid subscriber.

Subscribing means you have paid, and by choosing a subscription tier, this reflects your desire to show your support: bronze $36, silver $72, or gold $108, annually. You may also choose to pay monthly. You get a nicer welcome letter, with the invitation to converse with the editor, and the knowledge that you are supporting the existence of this independent paper, which cannot sustain itself without you.

Someone asked, what do you get if you pay more? A very warm feeling. Try it, you'll like it.

This is New Mexico's first independent Jewish paper – that means, we're free to be too left, too right, or just too middling. We even point you to alternatives here: Reliable varied sources of news, analysis and opinion about Israel and the US.
