Subject: 1-800-KOSHER
I wonder if you might help me - I was looking for the correct '800
number' - something like 1-800-kosher - but it's a number short, to
order food sent to any location, prepared. I'm going to New England on
vacation and want to order in advance. Can you help me find this, or
find a web site that will give it?
Todah merosh.

I have started a web page http://www.kashrut.com/ listing kosher alerts
from certifying agencies and other information useful for kosher
consumers, certifying agencies and food processors.
I have posted a listing of acceptable sodas compiled by the Star-K.
If you have any information, comments or suggestions, please e-mail to

Subject: child-care desperately wanted Aug 26-27 NYC/NJ area
We're driving from Toronto to a camp in upstate NY that begins on August
28. We'd dearly love to spend a couple of days in NYC (midtown Manhattan
shopping), Monday & Tuesday, August 26 & 27.
To do this we need to find someone with whom we can leave our kids
during the day for these two days. Ideal would be New Jersey where we
could stay in a hotel nearby, drop the kids off in the morning and take
the ferry from Weehauken; or Boro Park, where we could stay in the Park
House hotel and take the subway to Manhattan. We're looking for someone
reliable (preferably frum) and are happy to pay for the service.
Our kids are fluent in both English and Yiddish, but use exclusively
Yiddish among themselves. They're also very bright. For someone who'd
like to practice their Yiddish with kids, this can be a lot of fun.

Subject: High school hook-up
I am trying to organize something whereby Columbus Torah Academy, an
Orthodox day school in Columubs, Ohio can hook up with an Israeli high
school (eventually the lower grades may get involved as well) to have
pairs of students - an American and and Israeli - work cooperatively on
projects of religious, cultural or historical interest, using the
facilities of the Internet. The first step is to make contact with an
Israeli school that has the facilities and the interest. If there are
any takers, please let me know soon. I will be in Israel from the 14 -
21 of August.
Thanks,
Charlie Libicki

Subject: Rabbi For Wellington Synagogue / Community
I enclose the following information for the benefit of all readers
RABBI - WELLINGTON NEW ZEALAND
THE WELLINGTON HEBREW CONGREGATION IS SEEKING A RABBI
We are seeking a dynamic Rabbi able to reach out to a diverse membership
ranging from strictly observant Orthodox to those whose connection to their
Jewish roots is only occasional, from the youth to the elderly and to families.
This position presents a unique opportunity and challenge for a Rabbi who
wishes to make his mark and make a real and constructive difference to the
quality of Jewish life for an entire community.
The Rabbi should have a deep feeling for imparting traditional Jewish
teachings and commitment enhancing Jewish consciousness.
The Rabbi is the spokes person and religious representative of the Jewish
community to the broader New Zealand Society and would be expected to
present himself at that level.
Skills as a Baal Tephillah, Baal Koreh, speaker and communicator as well as
the ability to conduct an inspiring dignified synagogue service are required.
The ability to do Shechitah would be an advantage, but is not essential.
Wellington is the Capital City of New Zealand and centre of government and
commerce. It is beautifully situated. The Jewish community consists of some
300 families and has a proud history going back over 150 years. The focus
of Jewish life is centered around and attractive complex housing the
Synagogue, a Community hall, the Moriah Jewish Kindergarten and the Moriah
Jewish Day School, a Kosher products Co-op and a Mikvah. All facilities are
available for a totally Kosher lifestyle.

Wellington Hebrew Congregation

Subject: Rav. Levi Isaac of Berdichev
Your address was supplied to me by Torah-forum as a good source
of help. I am seeking information concerning a Yiddish film made some
time ago on Rasv. Levi Isaac of Berdichev, the great Hassic leader and
Torah-scholar. Any help you may be able to give me would be greatly
appreciated.
Where can I aquire the film, who made it and why, who played in
it, and are there any translated copies?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Dr. Haim Citron

Subject: Shabbat and Kashrut in Asia-Pacific
Since I see these questions come up rather often in mj-announce I thought
I'd pass on a home page that has a very extensive listing of Shabbat
hospitality and kashrut information for countries in the Asia-Pacific
region. The URL is: http://www.kashrus.org/hospita.html
