internal Shabbat email from the OU:
In light of the tragedy that has befallen the people of Beslan (Russia), Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), on behalf of North American Jewry, is opening a mailbox to extend support in their time of need. Through special emergency funds all of us can demonstrate our caring and concern for the victims of the senseless terrorist school attack. As a people, we have seen terror attacks on our own soil and in Israel, and know well the suffering that terror inflicts on a society. In solidarity with the people of Beslan - a small city of 30,000 in the Southern Russian Republic of North Ossetia - JDC has opened a non-sectarian "JDC-Russian Victims of Terror Assistance" Mailbox (see address below) to assist the victims. Please share this information with members of your community who may be interested in supporting this effort. funds raised will be used to provide emergency trauma relief by Israeli experts, many of whom have been active in past disaster responses organized by JDC. Contributions can be made by credit card via JDC's website: www.jdc.org or via phone: 212-687-6200 ext. 889 or by check payable to:
"JDC-Russian Victims of Terror Assistance" Box 321
