I called the UJA in New York and evidentally the "commitment for X amount
of dollars" is the way The Jewish Federation of Greater Chicago is
handling checks earmarked for "Operation Moses."  Many other local
federations are sending the checks right through to the national
UJA; which in turn send them right on Israel.  Check with
your local Jewish Federation to see what strategy they are using
in dealing with "Operation Moses" with the national UJA.

The word UJA in the above sentence should be changed to "Jewish
Federation of Greater Chicago" (or whatever they call themselves).
