The “Top-reads” feature proved to be a very popular last year and – from the wonderful feedback we received – was especially embraced by those users who didn’t manage to follow them with the depth or breadth they may have wanted to during the year – and were now able to do so at their leisure.

You can simply CLICK HERE: SAJR TOP-READS 2014 to read all of last year’s stories.

And, from later this week, you will be able to use the search bar and type in “SAJR TOP-READS 2015” and they will be waiting for you there.

Furthermore, within a day or two of publication of each of these compendia of articles and issues, they will also be available by using Google Search typing in “SAJR TOP-READS 2015”.

How to get the best out of JR Online

During the December/January holidays last year we were overrun by enquiries from non-regular users of the website about how to find things on SAJR Online. Well, the good news is that each and every one of the almost 15 000 content items posted on the website over the past 26 months are still there! And they will remain available and searchable on the Internet forever.

And so, we are going to also run a twice-weekly segment entitled “Getting the best out of JR Online” which we will start posting from next week. They will eventually be put together for posterity as a manual for users to follow.

As a sweetener, allow us to introduce you to three useful pages (which we will explain how to access in the “Getting the best…” series):

• Click here to see our VIDEO ARCHIVES which you can search through at your leisure;
• Click here to see our LATEST STORIES which go back 26 months in order of recency; and
• Click here to see all the WHACKY JEWISH WORLD stories we have ever published.
