Hello again, dear readers. It has only taken seven days to go from 104,000 visits to 105,000. What I call "visits" are actually page-views, and we normally get about two thousand of them per month. To get one thousand in just seven days is pretty extraordinary, and the main reason for this head-spinning pace is pirate activity.
The blog has experienced at least some activity of this type almost from the very beginning. It was certainly happening by late 2017, when I finished my translations of Lalla's poetry. What I am seeing now, though, is different in scale and intensity (perhaps because they know that they have major competition in at least one other country. All I know is that some person or group is working very, very hard, almost 24/7. I hope they make a good profit on their theft, because that will be the amount of damages for which I will sue them.
My own work continues apace. My series "Notes on the Zohar" is now up to six parts. It's a huge project, though, and at my age I may need to rethink the size of it.
As usual, thanks to all of you for your continued interest and enthusiasm.
