Subject: CU-See-Me connection
Is there anyone in Israel that would be able to setup a CU-See-Me
connection so that my shul could interview prospective B'nei Akiva
shlichim that are currently in Israel? We'd like to avoid paying for
multiple plane tickets for "possibles", and limit it to one ticket for
a "probable". I've looked into video conferencing, but the places in
the US want $75, and the places in Israel want $1,000!! So if anyone
on this list in Israel has (and is familiar with) CU-See-Me and a
video camera, I'd appreciate it if you could contact me directly and
perhaps you could help out our shul. Thanks!
Joe

Subject: Does anyone have Davka Judaic Classes 4 for Dos?
With the permission of Davka Inc., when our Yeshiva upgraded to the Judaic
Classics for Windows, I received the Yeshiva's version 4 for DOS. The catch is
that the Yeshiva had already erased the files from its hard drive & their
original Installation floppies were defective. Davka itself cannot locate any
copies of these files, which are pretty much essential to fully use the
program.
If anbody has or knows of someone who has these files and/or floppies, please
let me know, as I need them very much!
Thanks a lot,
Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer

Subject: Frankfurt, Germany
Hi.
I will most likely be attending a conference in Dagstuhl, Germany,
from October 21 to 25, 1996. This is *really* in the middle of
nowhere, but I will probably need to spend Shabbat in Frankfurt
(unless I leave the conference *really* early).
Can anybody point me to obtaining Shabbat hospitality in Frankfurt?
The last time I was there, I needed to rent a hotel room and pre-pay
my Shabbat lunch in the community kosher restaurant; I had Shabbat
dinner in my hotel room. Is this still the case, or is some kind of
family-style hospitality available?
Also, any suggestions (other than packing stuff) for meals at the
conference?
Thanks.

Subject: Inclusive Preschools in Israel
Thanks for all of the fabulous suggestions regarding our Mother-Daughter
Bat Mitzva trip! It should also make you feel good that someone else
responded that they're considering the same thing and asked for your
messages to be forwarded, so you're helping many families already!
HERE'S A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT REQUEST: Do any of you know of an Israeli
preschool program (anywhere between birth to 5 years old) that services
children with special needs along with typical kids in the same classroom?
I'd like to arrange to visit and observe for an hour or two (actually to
help with a 6-week Grad Course on Inclusion that I'll be missing two
weeks of!!) Nu? It's a tough one...
Thanks again, and Shabbat Shalom,
Nina Butler

Tosafos;

Subject: Minivans
We are looking to borrow/rent a minivan to transport a family of
seven around the Northeast between June 28 and July 14. We are
willing to pay to use your car if you will be out of town at the time
and your car is available - we can negotiate terms through the net.
We need to pick up and return the car somewhere in the New York
metropolitan area. If need be, we could also get the car on Motzei
Shabbos the 29th or *early* on the morning of the 30th.
We both have excellent driving records - bli ayin hara neither of us
has a moving violation in the last five years.

Hi.
I will most likely be attending a conference in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, from January 5-12, 1997. Can anybody point me to the usual
resources (food, minyanim, Shabbat hospitality)?
I have also been told that security might be an issue in Rio. Can
anybody elucidate? Thanks.

Subject: Yellowstone Park
Planning to be in Yellowstone Park area the first week of June, I was
wondering if there is any orthodox minyan for shabbat in the
neighborhood (meaning less than 100 miles from a gate of the park) or on
the way to salt lake city (included). Maybe there is a service in the
park itself (or in grand Teton park)? Any experience or advise on
finding kosher food there is welcome.
Thank you and Hag Sameah
