To Our Valued Advertisers,

In February 1999, Forestdale Heights Lodge Publications made a significant decision that has shaped the Lodge’s communications for the past 25 years. In that issue, we opened up the monthly bulletin – then called Horizon – to advertisers. Since then, the bulletin has grown in size and scope, becoming Kol Echad, adding colour ads, as well as greetings from politicians from different political parties at various levels of government.

As a result, Kol Echad became the most prestigious Lodge publication within B’nai Brith Canada.

However, time moves on, and things change. The past four years have been challenging for everyone, including members of Forestdale Heights and advertisers.

Therefore, members of FHL agreed to a motion at their April 2024 meeting to take Kol Echad in a new direction.

Starting September 2024, the publication, which is now an online bulletin published five times a year, will discontinue all advertising.

We are grateful to all advertisers who have stood with us and supported us over the years. You have helped make this the best lodge publication in B’nai Brith Canada. You will definitely be missed.

Kol Echad will continue to change, but it will still be published, and I will remain as the editor.

I wish you all continued success in all future endeavours. It’s been a pleasure working with you.

Be well,
Jeff Rosen
Editor, Kol Echad
