Etz-Ron Newsletter
December, 2004

Amy Gilron

Actually Etz-Ron is me, Amy Gilron. "Etz" means wood in Hebrew and "Ron" is my part of our last name, the name my husband and I created together when we combined our two names shortly after we married ! In Hebrew Gilron means "shout for joy" , or "mirth and joy" (or "double joy!"). I do all the designing, crafting, and finishing for all Etz-Ron products as well as keeping the internet site up to date, and now , this newsletter. In addition to all this, I also run a home complete with a (too-big) garden and a dog.

If you have received this newsletter, it is because you are a current or former client or have requested to receive it. If you do not want to receive the newsletter just email me. I plan to write to you about once a month to let you know about new products, and keep you up to date w/ the comings and goings at Etz-Ron, and maybe add an historical fact or two and/or a woodworking tip.

I welcome your reply to this newsletter and ask that you introduce yourself to me so that I can get to know you and what you do. And, if you have any suggestions for me in terms of a new product or a topic for a future newsletter, I would be happy to hear about that also.

Brass and Mosaic Dreidels

Hanukah is almost upon us. For a unique present for your loved one or yourself, Etz-Ron has two new dreidels .You can see them by following this link: Moasic and Brass Dreidels .

Also new at Etz-Ron is the Travel Menorah, a compact Menorah made out of anodized aluminum housed in a mosaic enhanced box that also becomes the menorah's stand! You can see it by following this link: Travel Menorah

In addition, Etz-Ron also offers the Mosaic Strip Menorah , the Lion Menorah , and the fun Branch Menorah . You'll also find several other Dreidels : the Silver and Mosaic Dreidel , and the Flat & Mosaic Dreidels .

Hanukah celebrates the victory of the Macabees over the (Syrian-Greek) Seleucids army, which opened the way for Jewish national independence. For the first time since the destruction of the First Temple, the Jewish people were able to worship according to the traditions of the Torah.

Wishing you a Happy Hanukah and a joyous Holiday season!

Hope to hear from you soon,

Amy Gilron, Etz-Ron
