conference is at the Loews Vanderbilt Plaza hotel. Any information on

Thanks.

**********************************************************************
The Kew Gardens commmunity was rocked three weeks ago by a terrible
tragedy. Fire destroyed the home of Beth and Menashe (Marc)
Silbergleit, instantly killing her recently widowed mother and
critically burning the husband and three daughters.
The youngest child, Chana Beila, passed away on Tisha B'Av from her
injuries. Due to life-threatening infection, her older sister, Masha
Miriam, had both legs amputated below the knee.
Below please find excerpts of a (now outdated) letter published by the
Vaad Harabonim of Queens:
"A devastating fire has left a father and his three children fighting
for their lives . . . homeless and destitute, robbing them of their
clothing, dishes, furniture, appliances, and virtually all of their
material belongings . . . Chana Beila, 4, Tzipporah, 7, Masha Miriam,
9, and their father, Marc, 37, are still in critical condition at New
York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center . . . The father, a pharmacist
who can't work because of a debilitating back injury, suffered burns
on about fifty percent of his body . . .
Please be Mispallel for the Refuah Shelaimah of:
Menashe Avigdor ben Rivka
Masha Miriam bas Basya
Tzipporah Chaya Sara bas Basya
We are pleading for your immediate help. This family's shelter and
basic needs cannot wait a month or even a week.
Checks can be made payable to:
Congregation Tifereth Shmuel / Charity Fund
c/o Rabbi Paysach Krohn
117-09 85th Avenue
Kew Gardens, NY 11418
We thank you in advance for your timely response."

Subject: Tzedakah course
Here are further details on an opportunity to take part in a
correspondence course on TZEDAKAH - The Legacy of Abraham and Sarah.
TZEDAKAH
THe Legacy of Abraham and Sarah
You are invited to take part in a monthly correspondance course on
the mitzvah of tzedakah - the Torah's mandate to share our resources
with those in need. The course will begin in October, 1996, after the
festival of Succot, and will continue until May, 1997.
We will explore how our ancestors - beginning with Abraham and
Sarah - strived to create a caring and just society in which tzedakah
would be viewed as a God-given right of those who are poor.
Each class will also feature stories about tzedakah taken from
biblical, midrashic, and other sources - both ancient and
modern. Holiday themes will be discussed, and there will be additional
mailings for Chanukah and Passover.
Among the issues to be discussed are the following:
* Why does the Torah consider tzedakah to be both an act of
love and an act of justice?
* From the perspective of the Torah, are all human beings
obligated to perform acts of tzedakah? And are Jews
obligated to perform acts of tzedakah to all human beings?
* Does the Jewish tradition favor government involvement with
regard to the prevention and/or the alleviation of poverty?
* Is the concewpt of tzedakah limited to helping human beings,
or can it be extended to include all creatures?
The teacher of the course is Yosef Ben Shlomo Hakohen, an
educator and writer living in Jerusalem. He is the author of "THe
Universal Jew - Letters to a Progressive Father from his Orthodox
Son", published by Feldheim.
Tp participate in this series of ten classes, please send your
name, address, and a payment of whatever you can afford to:
Yosef Ben Shlomo Hakohen, P. O. B. 16012, Bayit Vegan,
Jerusalem, Israel.
If you have any questions about the course, please contact
Richard Schwartz at schw...@postbox.csi.cuny.edu
