Re tripling:
If you decide to share your hotel room with two others, make sure
that the hotel has a tripling policy with which you're
comfortable. Two years ago the hotel said it was against state law
to have more than two beds in a room, so one of my roommates and I

Dear Steve,
Thank you for the links to the Canadian news articles. When I mentioned

With regard to donations of books, I was involved with Poshi Mikalson after
the library at Bnai Israel in Sacramento was destroyed in 1999. The
synagogue was deluged with goodwill by Safranim and others, literally
around the world. They received approsimately 22,000 volumes of all types

In addition to a special fund, I think that the following 'concrete' steps
might be taken:
