Both Agudath Israel and the OU have established EMERGENCY RELIEF CAMPAIGN to provide assistance to those whose lives have been uprooted by this terrible tragedy.

Responding to the incredible devastation from Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast and surrounding areas, Agudath Israel of America has launched an EMERGENCY RELIEF CAMPAIGN to provide assistance to those whose lives have been uprooted by this terrible tragedy.
According to Rabbi Shlomo Gertzulin, Agudath Israel’s Vice President for Finance and Administration, “our offices have been inundated with calls by concerned Yidden who are anxious to lend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters who have lost all of their material possessions over the past few days. After speaking with our contacts in Louisiana, Tennessee Georgia and Florida, and learning first-hand the extent of the widespread destruction and devastation, we have decided to undertake this Emergency effort to provide funds for housing, food, clothing and other emergency needs for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.”
As is known by now, virtually the entire Jewish community in New Orleans has been evacuated, with many taking up temporary refuge in Memphis and other nearby cities. In addition to the emergency day-to-day needs, there are also many children who will need to be registered in new yeshivos and day schools in the communities to which their families have been evacuated. According to Rabbi Labish Becker, Agudath Israel’s Associate Executive Director, “there is no greater mitzvah at this time than offering a life-support system to enable those suffering from this terrible flood so that they can begin to reconstruct their lives, and hopefully return to their homes and communities as soon as conditions allow.”
Agudath Israel has in recent years launched similar campaigns following the 9/11 attacks, and for victims of terror in Eretz Yisroel, and the funds raised by these campaigns have gone a long way to helping those whose lives have been shattered to at least have some economic relief as they cope with the reality of their situations. “Now also, we hope that acheinu Bnei Yisroel will once again open their hearts and extend themselves as much as possible so that we can provide tangible assistance to those who are now coping with a myriad of problems, not the least of which are financial,” added Rabbi Gertzulin.
The Agudah leaders urge everyone to send contributions immediately to Hurricane Victims Emergency Relief Fund, Agudath Israel of America, 42 Broadway – 14th Floor, New York, NY 10004, so that the funds can be promptly forwarded to the victims.

Please open this link to an IPA Action Alert on a proposal to extend Daylight Savings Time by two months each year, which the IPA is urging you to oppose:
In addition to the fact that children will need to wait in the dark for school buses etc., and the problems this would cause US transportation industries, it will also make it extremely difficult (and at times impossible) to daven Shacharis before getting to work (this is especially so in certain parts of the US, like Detroit).
The Alert has a sample email and the emails of the four most key people in the Senate/House to contact, though we are asking that everyone CC their own Senators (a link to the Senate/House contact information pages is provided in the alert as well).

All parents want the best for their children — that they should be good and upright, that they have everything they need for a fruitful, joyous life.
The classic work, Shelah HaKadosh, contains a prayer that parents should recite for their children at any time of the year — but especially on the day before Rosh Chodesh Sivan, for that is the month when God gave us the Torah, and when the Jewish people began to be called His Children. On that day, he writes, fathers and mothers should give charity to the poor and repent. They should even fast, if they are able to.

TO: Agudath Israel of America constituents and friends in New York State
FROM: Rabbi Labish Becker, Associate Executive Director
Mordechai Biser, Esq., Associate General Counsel
We’re all concerned about the high cost of yeshiva tuition, and the difficulty many needy parents have with paying full tuition for their children’s education.
There is now a bill in the New York State Legislature, drafted in part by Agudath Israel of America, that could bring financial relief for many families with children in yeshiva elementary and high schools. The bill would, among other things, give a 50% tax credit to individuals and companies contributing to scholarship funds for students in nonpublic schools. (A tax credit, unlike a deduction, is a direct reduction in one’s tax bill. In other words, if a taxpayer donates $500 to a scholarship fund, he will be able to subtract $250 from the taxes he owes the state.)
The bottom line is that if the bill is enacted, it would significantly encourage private sector contributions to scholarship funds for students in yeshivos and other nonpublic schools. This could potentially provide needy families in our community with a source of much-needed scholarship assistance. Somewhat similar programs in Pennsylvania and Arizona have brought millions of dollars in private contributions into scholarship funds, enabling many nonpublic school students to receive significant tuition assistance.
We need your help to get this bill passed. Please take a moment now to call your Assemblymember and State Senator. Urge them to sign on as sponsors of the educational tax incentives act and to vote for its passage.1. To be connected to your Assemblymember (or if you don’t know who your Assemblymember is), call the Assembly information office at 518-455-4218. Be prepared to give your name and address, and leave a message with whomever you can if you can’t get to speak with your Assemblymember directly. Tell your Assemblymember to sponsor and vote for Assembly bill A. 6145-b.
2. To be connected to your State Senator, or if you don’t know who your State Senator is, call the Senate information office at 518-455-3216. Tell your State Senator to sponsor and vote for Senate bill S. 3101-b.
These two very short phone calls could help bring much-needed financial relief to families and schools in our community.
Please then pass this e-mail along to as many friends as you can who are likely to make similar calls. Many thanks.

However, it is becoming increasingly difficult, in these arduous economic times, for the Yeshiva to provide all the programs and special attention that it has in the past. This is unfortunate and distressing. By heightening the greater Jewish community's awareness of the extraordinary work that goes on in the Yeshiva, we hope that the community at large will come to its support.
Yeshiva Tifereth Moshe will be holding its' 48th annual Dinner on Sunday May 22 at the White Shul in Far Rockaway.
Our honorees this year are:
For information on placing an ad in the dinner journal , or if a group of people would like to join together to place a shul ad, please contact (the person who gave you this letter). The official deadline for advertisements is May 9th
Yeshiva Tifereth Moshe was established a half century ago, and has become known worldwide for the caliber of its graduates and the quality of its academics. The Yeshiva prepares its graduates with the requisite educational skills necessary to succeed in institutions of higher learning. Beyond that, it also instills in them a sense of responsibility to Hashem and to Klal Yisrael, and a willingness to give back more than they receive. This attests to the wonderful work of the entire administration and staff, and to their dedication and devotion to each and every student. Steven & Mindy Moskowitz (Guests of Honor)
Please help us, in providing the Yeshiva's over 400 talmidim with a comprehensive and expansive education, and to help it in its goal of raising the next generation of community leaders and B"nei Torah.

Borough President James P. Molinaro joined Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other officials yesterday in announcing a new city program for repairing sidewalks damaged by the roots of street trees.
The Trees & Sidewalks Repair Program is a Department of Parks & Recreation initiative to repair as many as 2,000 damaged sidewalks each year.
At the news conference in Queens, Bloomberg said the repairs will be performed entirely at city expense, sparing homeowners.
"Street trees make a neighborhood alive and vibrant, but unfortunately, they can also damage its sidewalks, leaving them unsightly and hazardous," Bloomberg said. "Up until now, the cost to repair this damage has been borne by the homeowner and can reach as much as $1,000 per tree.
"The new Trees & Sidewalks Repair Program will relieve the financial burden of homeowners who are trying to keep their sidewalks safe and beautiful," the mayor added.
"I applaud Mayor Bloomberg for extending this help to homeowners with sidewalks damaged by tree roots," Molinaro said. "Many residents on Staten Island face this problem. Our borough has over 1,000 miles of roads and 90,000 street trees."
The program will have a $3.4 million budget this year; funds will be allocated by Bloomberg, Molinaro, Queens Borough President Helen Marshall and Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion.
"The funding by the mayor and borough presidents, including $500,000 from my capital budget, will allow residents to gain new, safe sidewalks at no cost to them," Molinaro said."This is an example of government getting to the root of a problem and solving it."
City officials said repairs would be assigned priority based on severity of sidewalk damage, percentage of a sidewalk affected by damage and volume of sidewalk traffic.
Anyone interested in having a damaged sidewalk fixed should call 311 and ask for the Trees & Sidewalks Repair Program.

Annual Duvy Deutsch Matones Le’havyonim collection.
Read More
As has been customary over the years and this year being no different, I am collecting for “Matones Le’havyonim”.
To those who are not familiar, this goes to “Toras Chesed” an organization that is run by “Kalman Krohn (Pesach Krohn’s brother)
Last year he gave out over $186,000 (not a typo, and I just confirmed it with him as I wrote this e-mail). This money goes out to confirmed and verified “aniyim” all of the US. Many of which are great “Talmedai Chachomin, families with no mother or father, and generally with little resources to support themselves or their families.
There is an elaborate system that is in place that secures that the money gets to the people ON PURIM. I can fill you in on the details offline if you wish. (I don't want to make this e-mail any longer than I have to).
As has been my goal each year I try and collect my share that is assigned to me which is $5000. 2 years ago I am happy to say I attained my goal for the first time. A year which was not very good financially for many people. Last year I fell a little short. I thank you for your support in the last and I hope I can count on your this year as well. To those new people receiving this for the first time, I welcome you and hope that you’ll support this as well.
For people who are receiving this e-mail and have no idea who I am, I have your e-mail address bec. someone who sent me an e-mail (a joke, or a petition, or some other type of e-mail) had you on their e-mail list as well. Out of respect for your privacy I never sent your e-mail or used it. Considering this is a Mitzvah, I like to believe you'd be ok with me including you in it.
For all who are not familiar with Toras Chesed or Kalman Krohn, feel free to call me or him directly. His number is 732-363-3302.
Please send me a personal e-mail response and let me know how much you can contribute. There is no truth to the rumor that there is a cap on how much you can give. Feel free to give as big a check as you can afford to give.
For those living in queens normally as was the case in the past, I was happy to make pick up calls. However with it being Eruv Shabbos this year, I will ask everyone to either drop it off, mail it to me, or give it to me in shul.
My address is:
The checks should be made out to Toras Chesed
Thank you all very much. You should all be “Ga-benched” to have Parnosa, health, happiness, and “Menuchas Hanefesh” (not in any particular order). Thank you very much for your "yidvenu Libo" which we lained a couple of weeks ago. I and Kalman thank you dearly.
Sincerely,
Duvy Deutsch
To all,

It is said that the only aveira Reb Elimelech did his entire life was that he hit his mother while she was nursing him as an infant. Yet when giving mussar to his followers he would not accuse them of doing an aveira, he accused himself. Such was his modesty!
He should be a meilitz yosher for all of klall Yisroel

***A record-breaking number of American baaleibatim gathered for what has become for many a “must-attend” Torah event – the Annual Yerushalayim Yarchei Kallah. Sponsored by Agudath Israel’s Torah Projects Commission, the Yarchei Kallah — held January 10-14 at the Jerusalem Renaissance Hotel — featured shiurim, divrei machshava and divrei chizuk by some of Eretz Yisroel’s most prominent roshei yeshiva, rabbonim and admorim. The Gedolei Yisroel who delivered divrei chizuk at this year’s Yarchei Kallah were (in order of appearance) Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, Rosh HaYeshiva, Yeshivas Mir, Yerushalayim; Harav Don Segal; Harav Shmuel Auerbach, Rosh HaYeshiva, Yeshiva Maalos HaTorah; the Sanz-Klausenberger Rebbe and Rabbi Yaakov Hillel, the Rosh Yeshiva of Mechon Ahavat Shalom in Yerushalayim. Rabbi Yaakov Perlow, the Novominsker Rebbe and Rosh Agudath Israel, delivered the hakdama shiur.
***Delegates from cities throughout North America, South America, Europe, Israel and Mexico were on hand for Agudath Israel of America’s 82nd national convention, held at the Stamford Westin Hotel over the weekend of November 25-28. The four-day gathering focused on the theme “Living Among the Nations: Part of the World, Apart From the World.” Audio-tapes of all convention plenary sessions, concurrent symposia, and roundtable forums are now available from the Agudah office. See enclosed tape brochure and order form.
***In reaction to reports that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was planning a media blitz based on surreptitiously filmed videotapes harshly depicting the slaughter of animals at the nation’s largest glatt kosher processing plant, delegates to Agudath Israel’s recent convention adopted a resolution condemning PETA’s attack on Jewish religious practice. In the weeks since the story broke, Agudath Israel executive vice president for government and public affairs Chaim Dovid Zwiebel helped craft a widely publicized statement by 12 rabbinic representatives of U.S. kashrus certifying agencies responding to the allegations set forth by the video and has worked with numerous rabbinic authorities and kashrus agencies in coordinating a strategy to deal with the crisis.
***Am Echad Resources, Agudath Israel’s syndication service for Jewish media, disseminated an essay by Agudath Israel director of public affairs Rabbi Avi Shafran on the controversy, explaining the danger PETA’s campaign poses to religious liberty in the U.S., and Agudath Israel’s Washington office director Rabbi Abba Cohen has been active in dealing with the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the federal governmental issues involved.
***Daf Yomi participants around the world are now learning Meseches Nidah — the last mesechta in Shas. Meanwhile, preparations proceed apace for the greatly anticipated 11th Siyum HaShas celebrations at Madison Square Garden and Continental Airlines Arena (for seating availability call 1-888-SIYUM-11) and in scores of locations in cities around the globe. The Commission marked the beginning of Meseches Nidah with a campaign urging prospective Daf Yomi learners to participate in this final phase of the 11th cycle and “come to the simcha as a mechuten.”
***More than 400 shuls across the country participated in the first annual National Tefilla Initiative, sponsored by Agudath Israel’s Commission on Kedushas Beis Haknesses. Throughout the inaugural four-week program, which ran from Parshas Vayeishev through Parshas Vayechi, participating shul rabbonim devoted their shiurim and droshas to the history, halachos and meaning of our tefillos.
***A bid to overturn a Housing Ministry ruling nullifying the results of a tender for purchasing lots in the Ramat Beis Shemesh neighborhood because the awardees were chareidim has been overturned thanks to the efforts of Rabbi Mordechai Green, director of BeZedek – the Agudath-Israel affiliated Center for the Advancement of Justice in Israel. In the year since BeZedek was established, the office has scored numerous victories benefiting Israel’s chareidi community.
***Agudath Israel filed a friend of the court brief with the NYS Supreme Court Appellate Division in support of a group of non-Jewish agencies’ challenge of a law requiring them to provide health care insurance for procedures they regard as religiously objectionable. Although Agudath Israel does not itself object to providing its employees with such coverage, it sees the precedent the law establishes – “by preventing some religious groups from freely exercising their faiths” – as alarming.
***Chaim Dovid Zwiebel was among a small number of Jewish leaders who had an off-the-record meeting with Secretary of State designate Condoleeza Rice at the White House several weeks ago to discuss issues pertaining to the Middle east, global anti-Semitism and Dr. Rice’s plans regarding her new position.
***In a letter to The New York Times published on November 12, Mr. Zwiebel corrected a mistaken impression given by a news story that Orthodox Jews are, unlike some other religious groups, not opposed to abortion.
***Agudath Israel’s Washington Office played a key role in streamlining the provision of benefits for disabled private school students under the reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), enacted into law by President Bush. Legal requirements regarding identification of disabled children, consultation with parents and private school authorities and accountability on the part of the local school districts have been expanded and strengthened. The office will continue to be active in working with the Department of Education during the all-important regulatory phase.
***In a letter in the New York Jewish Week published on December 3, Rabbi Avi Shafran responded to an earlier letter from an Orthodox writer who expressed disdain for non-Orthodox Jews. Characterizing the writer’s sentiments as “profoundly disturbing and, frankly, un-Jewish,” Rabbi Shafran asserted that while “like the letter writer, I believe that the Jewish future lies in the return by all Jews to the Jewish past,” the only feeling for fellow Jews that responsible Orthodox Jews have are “kinship and love.”
***On December 25, The New York Sun published a letter by Rabbi Shafran in response to a column by Hillel Halkin taking the Israeli Orthodox community to task for accepting government subsidies for its yeshivos and poor. Rabbi Shafran noted that, while there are certainly Israelis who resent supporting Jewish scholarship, there are others who regard religious institutions and scholars “much as many Americans regard universities and humanities scholars.” He further pointed out that most Americans favor providing “safety-net services for the inner-city underclass, whose poverty often stems from adult activities considerably less sublime than dedication to study and religious piety.”
***NYS Attorney General Eliot Spitzer was the special guest at a recent 42 Broadway meeting of Agudath Israel’s national officers and Vaad Hanhala. Items on the agenda included a summary of the role played by Agudath Israel in dealing with the shechita issue, a status report on the upcoming Siyum HaShas, and an update of developments in the Jewish communities of South America.
***In a strongly worded letter, Agudath Israel of America executive vice president Rabbi Shmuel Bloom lodged a protest with World Jewish Congress president Edgar M. Bronfman over statements attributed to Mr. Bronfman in the London Jewish Chronicle on the subject of intermarriage. A week later, Rabbi Bloom received a response from the WJC leader in which he appeared to retreat from the quotes, characterizing them as “both regrettable and misrepresented.”
***Introduced in 2002 and reintroduced in 2004, a bill codifying New York City’s obligation to provide nursing services on an equitable basis to children in public and nonpublic schools was enacted this month. The bill had been passed by the City Council in October after a number of hearings and press conferences at which Mr. Zwiebel presented the Orthodox community’s perspective, but the Mayor vetoed the measure, saying that he would instead allocate up to $8 million to restore some of the nursing services in nonpublic schools. In December, the City Council overrode the veto, thus ensuring that the services would be an entitlement for nonpublic elementary and intermediate schools and not subject to budgetary considerations.
***In late November, Congress passed a year-end spending bill that includes $200 million for Title V of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, thus restoring the program the House and Senate appropriations committees had earmarked for elimination. Agudath Israel had strongly advocated for restoration of Title V, which has been a major source of federal assistance to all schools for almost 40 years and which yeshivos have strongly relied upon to acquire computer hardware and software, textbooks, library books and other vital educational materials.
***Rabbi Reuven Drucker, rav of Agudath Israel of Highland Park (Edison), was among a group of rabbis and Jewish educators who met privately with President George W. Bush on the second day of Chanukah. He and four Agudath Israel organizational representatives — Washington office director Rabbi Abba Cohen, Rabbi Avi Shafran, and Agudath Israel regional directors Rabbi Yehiel Kalish (Midwest) and Rabbi Moshe Matz (Florida) — joined the President and First Lady for a White House Chanukah gathering later that night.
***Agudath Israel of America’s COPE Institute is gearing up for a new cycle of full-day junior accounting classes for men. Classes, which will run approximately 13 weeks beginning February 14, will be held Monday through Thursday, 9am to 4pm at 225 Broadway in Lower Manhattan. For more information or to register, call 212.809.5935, ext. 102.
***Awareness regarding the work of Agudath Israel’s Professional Career Services (PCS) continues to be raised — and many volunteers recruited — by a Community Poster Program, through which PCS posters are distributed to shuls throughout the city. Most recently, the agency, which matches job seekers with individuals in a position to offer jobs or who are aware of job openings, hired a director for its new computer/information technology division and developed a search engine to assist job-seekers in the IT industry.
***Over 100 girls, grades 6-8, participated in the inaugural event of Bnos Agudath Israel’s new “Agudah Clubs” program, which is designed to encourage healthy physical exercise in a fully supervised environment.
***More than 100 yeshivos around the country have already signed up for Pirchei Agudath Israel’s Kesser Torah program, which encourages 5th-8th grade yeshiva students to collectively complete Mishnayos in time for the 11th Siyum HaShas. The program, which involves thousands of students nationwide, is being sponsored by the Katlowitz/Wassner families l’zecher nishmas Mrs. Nava Katlowitz.
***Pirchei’s popular Kesser Mishnayos program held its annual Torah auction in December, awarding exciting prizes to boys who learned extra mishnayos in their free time during the past year.
***Agudath Israel’s Fresh Start Training Program, which provides intensive computer and job readiness training to displaced homemakers planning to re-enter the workforce, has been awarded a grant by the Independence Community Foundation. To register, please call 718.338.9200.
***Agudath Israel Midwest, together with community activist Mr. Gershon Bassman, is working with Illinois State officials on a large tax-free bond issue that will enable area mosdos to refinance school debts at a significantly lower interest rate. A similar effort is underway in Missouri.
***Agudath Israel of South Florida’s sixth annual convention was held over the weekend of January 6th. The opening session took place at the Yeshiva Beis Moshe Chaim Talmudic University and featured an address by Rabbi Baruch Diamond of Far Rockaway, NY, and messages from Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah member Rabbi Aharon Feldman, Rabbi Yochanan Zweig and Rabbi Benyomin Luban. The Motzoei Shabbos keynote session featured addresses by the Bostoner Rebbe, Rabbi Feldman, Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, Rabbi Shmuel Klein and Rabbi Eli Mansour.
***A division of Agudah Women of America, N’shei C.A.R.E.S, which is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of Jewish women and their families, is sponsoring yet another health seminar for women. To take place Tuesday, February, 8, at Congregation Gvul Yaavetz in Flatbush, the seminar will address the topic, “Stroke and Behavioral Problems of Neurological Disorders.” Speakers include Dr. Todd Feinberg, who heads the division of neurobehavior at Beth Israel Hospital and specializes in the neurobehavioral aspects of Alzheimers; Dr. Steven Rudolph, the newly appointed director of Maimonides Stroke Center; and Rabbi Dovid Ozeiry, who will offer a Torah perspective on the topic.
***Project YES, Agudath Israel’s highly effective program for pre-risk teens has expanded its services to include mentoring training sessions in Staten Island and Monsey, enabling the agency to better meet the needs of clients in those communities. An informative article by Project YES clinical mentoring assistant Miss Yocheved Weiss entitled “Mentoring: Your Role in Their Lives” appears in the current issue of The Jewish Observer.
***On December 19, the Agudath Israel of New England sponsored a healthcare conference on cancer screening at the Young Israel of Brookline. Medical presenters included Dr. Nahum Goldberg, Dr. Steven Tennenberg, Dr. M. Dror Michaelson, Dr. Anne-Renee Hartman, Dr. Sarah Feldman, and Dr. Geoffrey Girnun. Rabbi Mordechai Willig, Rosh Yeshiva and Rosh Kollel at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, and Rav of the Young Israel of Riverdale, N.Y., was the keynote speaker. Concluding remarks were delivered by the Bostoner Rebbe.
***Talmidim of Yeshiva Tashbar of Lakewood, pictured here with principal Rabbi Mordechai Zions, are among the thousands of students nationwide participating in the Kesser Torah Program.
