Thanks for the coverage

I appreciate, am pleased with and grateful to The Chronicle for the comprehensive report and review of my memoir. My inspiration for the book was a need to record a history of an exciting community period of communal growth. By letting it be known that the book is now available, The Chronicle contributed in informing members of the Jewish community that an opportunity exists to learn about what the community has and is still accomplishing.

I am not accepting royalties for this book, as all such payments are being directed to the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City.

Help impoverished Israelis

It’s terrible to learn that many of our people in Israel are going hungry because their government always has to spend so much on defense.

We can’t ignore this. So in this country we must start sending money regularly so that many Israelis will not have to sit down to an empty dinner table. Please start doing this now.

You can send money to:

Yad Eliezer: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in Israel
American Friends of Yad Eliezer
1102 E. 26th St.,
Brooklyn, NY 11210
YadEliezer.org

The Jewish Federations of North America has also set up the Israel Terror Relief Fund (not just for food)

Jewish Federations of North America
Wall Street Station — PO Box 157
New York, NY 10268
www.jewishfederations.org

(Editor’s note: The Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City is also raising money that goes directly into this fund where all money will go toward humanitarian efforts. To learn more visit the website at www.jewishkansascity.org.)
