Subject: Charleston, West Virginia
My wife and I need to attend a family wedding in Charleston, West
Virginia on July 28 (her side!) and will need to be there that Shabbat.
It is so far looking like tuna fish in the hotel room and so I am
wondering if anyone knows any frum people, Orthodox minyanim, etc. in
that city. Even Chabad does not seem to have established themselves
there yet. Thanks for any leads and have a good fast. Yitzchak Metchik-

Subject: Correspondance Course on tzedakah
Yosef Ben Shlomo Hakohen, an educator and writer living in
Jerusalem, who is the author of "The Universal Jew - Letters to a
Progressive Father from his Orthodox Son" (Feldheim, 1996), will be
giving a correspondence course on the mitzva of tzedakhah - the
Torah's mandate to share our resources with those in need. The
course will begin after Succot and continue until May, 1997, with
monthly lessons mailed to participants. The course will explore how
our ancesters, beginning with Abraham and Sarah, strived to create a
caring and just society. Each class will feature stories about
tzedakhah from biblical, midrashic, and other Jewish sources, both
ancient and modern, and Holiday themes will also be discussed.
I have known Yosef (formerly Jeff Oboler) for many years, and he
is a very sensitive, dedicated Torah scholar with a deep love of
Judaism and the Jewish people. Unfortunately he has been ill and
this has put him in difficult financial straits and this course is
one way for him to earn a living.
To participate in the series of ten classes, please send your
name, address, and a payment of whatever you wish to: Yosef Ben
Shlomo Hakohen, POB 16012, Bayit Vegan, Jerusalem, Israel. If you
have any questions or suggestions re the course, please contact Yosef
or me. Thanks for your kind consideration.

Subject: Hebrew emersion course in US
I will be spending some time in Israel over the next few years, any I
know almost no Hebrew. I have tried to learn through local courses, but
I am a physician (Neonatologist - care for sick newborns) and my
schedule does not lend itself to the twice a week courses. I thought
that an emerssion course might me the way to go. If anyone has any ideas
of programs in the US I would greatly appreciate the info.

Four lovely and exceptionally fine and responsible 21 year old Orthodox
girls from Israel (all former Madrichot in Bnei Akiva and graduates of Bnei
Akiva Ulpanot, college students after Sherut LeUmi...) are looking for a
place to stay in Paris the week of August 4 and in London the following
week. If anyone has any suggestions-- an available apartment, please
contact me at this e-mail address. They are extremely responsible and
wonderful girls. They are willing to pay expenses, of course, and are

Subject: Siddur "Tehillat Hashem"
I am in search of a small version of the Hebrew-English version of the
siddur "Tehillat Hashem" (Lubavitch). I have the larger size but it is
too bulky for me to always carry around and the smaller size is out of
print. I would greatly appreciate if i could buy one from someone who
has quite a few. Please e-mail me at smi...@panix.com or call me at
work at 212-563-4000 x189.

Subject: Technical English-Hebrew Dictionary
bs'd
Is there such a thing as a Hebrew-English Technical Dictionary?
My friend is looking to purchase a Hebrew to English Technical
Dictionary, mainly covering Electrical Engineering terms, plus a basic
Physics text book in Hebrew. I am having a difficult time locating
a publisher or book store in the United States who would carry these items.
I've had no luck either searching the web.
Suggestions of book publishers or book stores in both the United
States, especially the New York City area, and Israel are wanted.
Possibly you have an old text that your library doesn't need?
Thank you for your help,
