Biblical Hebrew Forum

["Yodan" <yodan AT yodanco.com>]

I too missed the notice about how to move to the new forum. 

It's unfortunate that this change has apparently occurred during the month
of Jewish holidays when some of us do not do emails for 2-3 days at a time
and are likely to miss emails when we turn on our computer and get 200
emails all at once. 

Please provide detailed instructions on how to register for the new forum. 

Thank you,

Bruryah Tashah

I missed it. Where is the new forum at? I think I'm glad about it. I would
have easily been able to find this answer in the new forum.
