Subject: A Good Sheur
The weekly sheur in Parashat HaShavua given by Rav Mordecai Elon (Rosh
Yeshivat Horev) at Yeshurun and broadcast on the radio, can now be
HEARD at http://www.613.org/elon.html.
His delivery is on the slow side, so even those who have a problem
with the speed of conversational Hebrew may well be able to handle it.

A UNIQUE NEW SUMMER PROGRAM!!
The Eli & Bessie Cohen KEREM SUMMER INSTITUTE at Hebrew College, Boston,
is a one-month (June 3-June 28th) intensive immersion into Jewish
learning, living and self-discovery in a trans-denominational
environment. Kerem aims to empower participants with the knowledge to
forge their own Jewish identities.
The Institute is ideal for students who want to get an historical
overview of Judaism, study the major classical texts, improve their
Hebrew skills, discuss important contemporary issues and earn 6 academic
credits. The faculty includes outstanding scholars from Boston area
universities as well as celebrated Jewish community leaders.
Each participant will receive a substantial fellowship and further
funding is available for those with financial need. Space is limited to
30. Conveniently scheduled from June 3-June 28, 1996. For more info,

Subject: Baby Implements in Jerusalem
If anybody knows of an opportunity for us to borrow some baby implements
in Jerusalem this summer (June 13 to July 22), instead of carrying them
back and forth between the States and Israel, we would be very
appreciative. Helfpul items include a (1) sturdy stroller with good sun
protection, (2) a portable crib, and (3) a larger play enclosure, e.g.,
created from portable panels. We will probably bring a toddler (10
months, over 20 pounds) car seat with us, but if we don't, tips on
borrowing a car seat would be useful, too. Thanks.

Subject: Community to Live In
We are a young modern orthodox couple considering moving out of
Manhatten. We are looking for any recommendations, anywhere in the US,
although we would probably stay in the New York area, of communities
where there is some degree of Jewish life including shuls, schools,
shopping,eruv. I would like to be in a suburban area, while my husband
prefers city life, so we'll take information on both possibilities.
Anyone with information on Queens neigborhoods?
You can respond directly to rog...@tribeca.ios.com.
Thank you,
Bonnie & Michael Rogovin

Hello all.

--- I'm looking for a copy to buy of Louis Jacobs' translation of R. Dov
Baer of Lubavitch's TRACT ON ECSTASY, which was published first in 1963
and then again in 1982. The '82 edition was by a Rossel Books of
Chappaqua NY. (The title of the 82 edition was just "On Ecstasy"
Subtitle "A Tract by Dobh Baer of Lubavitch" -- I had been looking for
it for a while, found it recently in a library, but would like my own
copy to read over a few times.
Thanks -- write here or to me email dfer...@delphi.com

Subject: Gemara study?
I am looking for assistance in finding a place where I (a woman) could
learn the basics of studying Gemara. I'm in the DC area but would be
willing to go to Baltimore or Virginia if necessary, and I'll be away in
the summer, so It would be starting in the Fall. My main restriction
will be money, as I haven't very much of it. Does anyone know of a
resource for me? Thanks.

Subject: Springfield, Mass
I'm looking for information on Jewish life in and around Springfield, MA.
Is there an Orthodox Shul?? Are there places to buy food, take-out, deli? I
vaguely remember from my days at summer camp nearby, there used to be a
butcher/grocer Abe's. Is that still around?? Is it under hasgacha? What
about in other towns in that part of the state?
Thanks a lot...
