Re: Fwd: Jewish Emergency

[Rachel Heckert <heckertkrs...>]

Trudi,

There's a large ad for this organization in this week's issue of  the
"Yated Neeman"  (right wing of the right wing) newspaper (Yep, I'm right
wing of the right wing ;-).  They tend to be careful these things, so I
would guess it's legit.  I'll visit the site later and check them out
myself, but at first glance it looks OK.  I can also call somebody I know
who's informed about these things if anyone wants to contact them but
wants to check first.
