I'm very excited to announce that, as of today, Jewcy has been adopted by JDub, the non-profit dedicated to innovative Jewish content, community, and cross-cultural dialogue. What does this announcement mean for you, the Jewcy reader? A few things:

• We'll be making it easier for you guys to participate on Jewcy and be part of our community, making sure all voices are heard.
• Jewcy is no longer a for-profit company. We're a non-profit. So stop asking to bum twenty bucks already. In fact, speaking of twenty bucks...
• Our vision and editorial integrity will not change. We are still committed to bringing you up-to-date, relevant, challenging, interesting content.
• Another thing that won't change: me. I'll be giving up my title of "Head of the Jewcy Government in Exile" and going back to just "Jewcy Editor."
