Simona,

HURRY!!!! Rita's concert is this Saturday night (Oct. 10) and Sunday (Oct. 11)
at Scottish Rite Auditorium. For tickets (chargeable on credit cards) call:
(818) 996-4695. I don't know what the price is (I'm sure I can't afford it, &
while I like some of her stuff, I'm not a huge fan of Rita).

Re: Aliyah: It IS very difficult to find jobs in Israel now, but many people do
it successfully. It's more a matter of the individual, his/her training, the
field, timing, etc.. Any time you're ready to look into an Aliyah group, Mike
Miller (the current Shaliach Aliyah) at the LA Aliyah Center will point you to
the appropriate one(s): (213) 655-7881. If it's within the next few years, you
can contact me too, & I can give you the contact numbers for Telem/NAAM, Tnuat
Am, & Tehilla. BTW, many people in the various Aliyah groups are not planning
on making Aliyah for a few years, but want to maintain contact with like-minded
people etc., & remain informed about Aliyah options.

There's going to be a meeting on Wed. Oct. 14 (co-sponsored by Telem/NAAM &
Tehilla) in the Sukkah at Young Israel on Spanish Jewry: Expulsion & Aliyah. It
starts at 8:00 PM, & the speaker is Rabbi Claudio Kaiser Blueth. If you want to
come for a Hebrew club prior to the meeting, pick up take-out dinner from any
of the area kosher restaurants, & eat it in the Sukkah at Young Israel (9315 W
Pico, LA) after 7 PM. [And if you decide never to make Aliyah, that's also
fine, & is your right & prerogative]

--Nancy
