Hello to all, I received the following message from Nitza Gazit, who is the English language coordinator for NItzanim-Eshkol elementary school in Karmiel, and who has been a recipient of our Books for Israel shipments. As I know no one is New York City, I am hoping someone on this list can refer her to someone who can help. Thank you very much! Judy Petersen Library Director Congregation Har Shalom Fort Collins, CO Shalom Dear Judy Hope you are all well and having a good holiday. This letter is not about school or books. It's personal; it is about my 26 year old son Tzach. A year ago he was diagnosed as having ALS also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, which is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and paralysis. As to now he can walk very slowly and his arms and hands are also weakened. A week ago he returned from a wonderful visit to New York City, where he stayed in a friend's house. Tzach liked New York very much and wishes to live and work there for 4 to 6 months. He needs a place lo live and an occupation that suit his skills and limitations. He has full mastery of English. I need your help in contacting the Jewish community or the Jewish agency in New York in order to help him carry out his plans. Time is a major factor in his situation. He is open to every idea. Tzach is a lawyer; he graduated law school in Tel Aviv University in excellent grades. He works in a big office in Tel Aviv. He is about to finish his year of training on February 2006. During his studies, Tzach was a volunteer teacher to constitution, law and good citizenship and developed values of Zionism among the youth. He also worked as a guide in the Supreme Court in Jerusalem on subjects of architecture legislation and constitutional law. His father and I would very much like, and feel, it is obligatory to grant each and every wish of our son, but I am the only provider in our house hold and it is impossible for us to help in any way. This is why I send this plea to you. I would like him to be under the wings of the Jewish community. A fund will be opened soon for contributions. Sorry if my letter is distressful. Hope you can help him. Thank you so much Eli and Nitza Gazit from Carmiel <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
