A new email listing service has been started today for us Ramat Eshkol'ers. I noticed a bunch of signs posted all over Ramat Eshkol advertising the new service. The service advertises itself as completely free to post/free to subscribe email list, and the email is sent out every Motzei Shabbos. I contacted the person running the listing service, and was sent the following info:
Weekly Ramat Eshkol Free Listings by Email
We list Gemachim, Shiurim, For Sale, Rentals, Lost & Found, Local businesses, neighbourly notices etc. All Adverts are FREE and any email address can sign up. Sign up or send us an advert at RamatEshkolFreeListings@gmail.com
Honestly, I do not know who the person running this service is, but I'm quite happy that this has been started. As some readers may know, recently, the N'shei Ramat Eshkol email list has become partially commercialized, while the necessity of a free email list is important. I don't mean to knock the person/people running the N'shei list, as they have done a terrific job. Rather, I believe that this is the type of job that in order to be done properly, it must be done as chessed.
Recently, you may have noticed some changes occurring on this site. First, I would like to point out that we have changed the name of the site, in order to keep our readers from getting confused with another Ramat Eshkol organization.
Second, we have added a "Ramat Eshkol General Info" section to the site, which provides local, hard-to-find, in-depth information from around the neighborhood, in an easy, free and convenient directory. From shul times to local real estate agents, bank hours and furniture listings, we also plan on adding a lot more local information over the coming months.
