Subject: Chicago
I will be in Chicago for a convention at McCormick Place during
the last week in July. Are there places to daven and places to eat near
there? How long a trip is it from the areas where these are more
readily available to McCormick i.e. should I stay there and travel
downtown? What recommendations can you make for either of these needs
as well as general sightseeing recommendations for a very limited time
budget? I will not have a car available during my stay.
Thanks
Gershon

Subject: Kosher Food in Eastern Europe?
I am going with some friends to Prague, Krakow and Budapest next month,
between July 14 and 21. I am interested in finding out about any kosher
food available in this area, especially Prague, as we plan to spend the
shabbat of July 19-20 there. Is anyone else in the area from the list
during this period? Also, are there any reputable restaurants currently
in Prague? I have heard conflicting stories about this.Finally, are
there any jewish owned bed and breakfast or hotels in Krakow? Any
information would be appreciated.

spending the week of 23 June in Montreal at some unintelligible-to-me computer
conference, and will have to extend their stay through the next shabbos of
6/29, Can anybody out there inform us of the proximity of which hotels to what
shuls etc. and/or steer us to local shabbos hospitality options for 6/29?
Planning time is running a bit short now.

Subject: Need a ba'al koreh?
My brother-in-law will be attending YU in the fall after two years at
Yeshivat Or Etzion in Israel. He is interested in finding a shul at
which he can read Torah on a regular basis. Do you know of any shuls in
the relatively immediate tri-state area that needs an excellent ba'al
koreh?

My wife and I are thinking about taking a short vacation up the

Subject: Switzerland
I will be spending 8-10 days in Lucerne and Zurich on vacation in
August. I am particularly interested in the availability of kosher food
(other than restaurant food). Is there a local hashgacha that can be
relied on? Is there anything similar to the kosher symbols one finds on
products in the US? I have heard that there was a printed list of kosher
breads and other kosher foods but have not been able to find one.
Thanks.

Subject: Vacation suggestions?
A friend of mine is looking to get away for a few days this summer.
He'd like someplace with "beach, sun, and ocean" to unwind. The
difficulty is that he's saying Kaddish, and needs to go someplace
where there'll be minyanim mornings and evenings. Suggestions? (East
Coast of United States or Canada preferable.)
Please reply to me personally, I'll pass it on.
Thanks,
Andrew
