   Reprinted from the NHC List by R.Arthur Waskow :
 
   An event of direct interest to New Yorkers and perhaps an
 interesting model or stimulus for those elsewhere.  A new way of
 celebrating Lag B'Omer while healing some pain. I've asked for info
 about the Beyond Shelter loan fund, and will pass it on when I get it.
 Shalom, Arthur
