It didn't help. Google eventually lost the page rank for the old domain before 
the redirect and I had to slowly regain it.

Not people - mostly bots:

I already have it included as the main page:

http://www.shlomifish.org/

With older items on the old news page:

I'll implement this suggestion when I'm in the mood.
