Hey everyone! 👋

Alec here, founder of The JLM Scoop, the weekly newsletter for English speakers in Jerusalem.

One year ago, I started this project as a passion play, and thanks to this incredible community, it’s grown to 6,000+ subscribers with a 50% open rate. 🥳

This is an incredible opportunity to build on a strong foundation and take something beloved to new heights.
