Caption: LaTeX Class for the Israel Journal of Mathematics.
Description: The Israel Journal of Mathematics is published by The
Hebrew University Magnes Press. This class provides LaTeX support
for its authors and editors. It strives to achieve the distinct
“look and feel” of the journal, while having the interface similar
to that of the amsart document class. This will help authors
already familiar with amsart to easily submit manuscripts for The
Israel Journal of Mathematics or to put the preprints in arXiv with
minimal changes in the LaTeX source.

that made national news!), and wasn't able to report the following
