As we know today marks the 10th Anniversary of Ofra Haza's passing. Still fresh in my mind exactly what I was doing. My heart still aches today with sorrow. Losing Ofra Haza felt like losing a member of my own family. She walked into my life without even knowing the impact her music would have upon my life, my heart, and my soul. Her voice so pure and angelic. I believe she truly was from another time. I don't think I have come across another voice so encompassing as hers. It surrounds me like water cleaning my soul. Over the last 10 years there have been a few of us that have remained committed to keeping her memory alive, and I thank you all for that. Here is to another 10 years of keeping what we know of Ofra alive. She is missed around the world by many. I celebrate what she left us.

Hello All,
Issue 2 10 Years Without Ofra Haza has been in the making for quite a long time. Life happens things take shape or they don't. You may see the 2nd edition and wonder wow what took so long. The editing process is grueling, and time consuming as the fanzine must be read over and over and over again until we feel it is right. Things get put in, edited, and then taken out. We do things one way, then another, and sometimes have to start from scratch. We have writers from all over the world but must edit it because this is truly a US Publication and everything must be converted from European taught British English to US English. This is no easy task. We only have 2 editors and we do everything on our spare time which really isn't much since we both work full time jobs, 40+ hours per week. It's hard to get done with everything. We went weeks, probably months without looking at things. For printing books such as this they have to be divisable by 4. So we have to plan out how many pages we can have. Right now 36 pages is...
