Subject: Beginners program at Midreshet Rachel
"Basics"
Midreshet Rachel College of Jewish Studies for Women, in Jerusalem (the
women's division of the Darche Noam Institutions) is launching a new
five-week introductory program for women who may or may not yet be fully
committed to Jewish observance, but are looking for serious study.
With special classes in Hebrew language skills and Jewish philosophy,
and an introduction to a wide range of traditional Jewish sources,
"Basics" prepares motivated students for entry into Midreshet Rachel's
core program.
In a few short weeks, students will begin translating, analyzing and
understanding, in the original, the basic texts and tenets of Jewish
tradition.
"Basics" begins August 15, October 14, December 16 and May 7.
The Midreshet Rachel Elul program, for beginning, intermediate and
advanced students, is August 15-September 19 - a very special
opportunity for learning and personal growth in the month before the
Days of Awe, on the theme "Reflection and Prayer."

Subject: Chicago Jewish Community
Hello m-jer's! My husband has a job interview in Chicago next week (the 19th)
for a job that starts right away. So there is a possibility of us moving to
Chicago before the holidays. (We're currently in Postville, Iowa, but that's
a whole other story.) We're in shock, especially since, if he gets the job,
we won't have a lot of time to decide. We've been to Chicago several times,
but can't figure out where we fit into the spectrum. We're not into labels. .
We would probably live in W. Rogers Park. Any information anyone could
send about shuls, cheder, cost of living, etc. would be really useful.
TIA

Subject: London
I will be in the London area for meetings the first week in September
and will probably have to stay over Shabbas of the 7th. It's been some
while since I've been caught over a Shabbas and wanted to check on
current status/options. In the past I've stayed either in a b&b in
Golders Green or with folks in Edgeware. Are the GG places still in
business and what are the names/phone #s?
Since i will be leaving motzaei labor day and might otherwise miss the
response I'd appreciate it if any replies could also be copied to my
wife's e-mail: fra...@sst.ncsl.nist.gov
Thanks

Does anyone know if there is an orthodox shul in Atlantic City or

Subject: Shul Software
Does anyone know about shareware or inexpensive software for organizing
the activities of a schul. I have seen software advertised from time
to time but am told that most packages are fairly expensive. We are a
small, but growing, schul in Portland, Oregon. Any help would be
appreciated.

Subject: URGENT: Anyone willing to bring a computer cable to Israel?
I am looking for someone who would be willing to bring a Mac PowerBook cord
from the States to Israel. I need it ASAP, because mine broke. I would
order it from a Mac catalog and have it sent to you. You could open the
package to make sure all was kosher. It would weigh no more than 3 pounds.
I am a poor student, so I'm not sure what I could offer in exchange for
this favor. Eternal gratitude and a Shabbos meal in Jerusalem?
