So, in the beginning, when we hadn't gotten any digests, we weren't worried, but then the months dragged on and on...
Recently, I've received a few emails from people:
"Do you know what happened to Avi Feldblum? Is he alive? Is he dead?"
So, I'm asking. Does anybody know?
Shabbat Shalom and Chodesh Tov

I know Avi! I think they are living in PA now. They lived in Highland Park for a while, and when they come visit, he often comes to Cong. Etz Ahaim.
Do you remember a commentator named Sam Saal z"l? His wife is a dear friend of mine. I learned about Sam through that list, and then when we moved to Highland Park, we met him. Unfortunately, he passed away about three years ago.
Avi did an enormous job. It predated the blogs. He definitely contributed to modern Jewish life. If you ever see him, please pass on the message.
I vaguely remember Sam. One of the amazing things was coming across the names of people from my past who were part of mailjewish.
Shabbat shalom
Try avi_feldblum@att.com and see if it works. He has some kind of geek day job.
thanks, goyish, I'll pass it on to the person who asked.
I asked Jacob Richman and he forwarded me this:

Subject: Hello All
Hello All,
This is just a quick email to let you all know I am back, I know I have
been radio / email silent for a long time, I am going to try and come
back. Here in the US, it is Labor Day, so I have some free time to try
and catch up on various projects, and I will make mail-jewish one of the
first.
Avi
